It's Monday, reader. I want more time outside playing pickleball and California Dreamin' (it's an Asian song btw. iykyk). I miss my South Brooklyn pickleball community, but hope to find a consistent place to play in San Diego.

Good morning. I'm senior reporter Phil Rosen.

Good morning. I'm Phil Rosen, reporting from Los Angeles.
