Covering Elections in the Age of COVID
The election is 2 weeks away. I’m anticipating spending the evening at home with a cup of tea and sudoku.

Remembering Bob March
Bob March, forever immortalized throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and northern California as “Captain Satellite”, early local television’s Space Age hero to a generation of Baby Boomers, has died.
Looking Back – Captain Satellite
During the late 1950’s to the late 1960’s, locally produced children’s television programs seem to flourish in the Bay Area. Names like Skipper Sedley, Miss Nancy, Captain Fortune, Marshal J, Mayor Art, and Charley and Humphrey still remind many baby boomers of a very special era in their lives.
