In Part 2, we pick up where we left off in Part 1. While in college at Marymount, Theo ran the Boys and Girls Club program with Phillip Redd. He liked the connections and impact he had made in SoCal, and wondered whether he could do the same at home. This was back when Barack Obama was first running for president, and there was a prevailing sense of hope and possibility pervading life for a lot of folks. And so Theo moved back home. He transferred to Notre Dame de Namur in Belmont after his sophomore year, and got a degree there three years later. Upon his arrival in The City and concurrent with his time in college in The Bay, he got involved in SF politics serving on commissions and boards. It helped him really dig in to living here. Then-mayor Newsom appointed Theo to the Youth Commission. He had done yet another documentary in high school, this time on homelessness in The City. That got the mayor's attention. "The Homeless Orchestra" compared the crisis of the unhoused population to the inner workings of an orchestra. The mayor took that doc to Davos, Switzerland, and showed it at the World Economic Forum there. Young Theo talked with folks like Tom Ammiano and Matt Gonzalez for his movie. He lived near his transfer college, Notre Dame de Namur, in Belmont on the Peninsula. After class, he'd hurry back to San Francisco for Youth Commission meetings. He also sat on the Southeast Community Facility (SCF) Commission. Theo and I go on a sidebar here about how we use the tools at our disposal—tech, government—for better and for worse. From his place on the SCF Commission, Theo joined the commission on community investment and infrastructure. They oversaw the development of Hunter's Point Shipyard, Mission Bay, the Transbay Terminal, as well as a few other spots around The City. They worked on housing in those areas and approved 3,000 units, one-third of which were affordable and 250 that were set aside for formerly houseless families. Theo, his mom, and his brother had moved to Third and Newcomb, near the opera house where we recorded. With that move, Theo saw BVOH as a community fixture. The opera house has been there since 1888 (which we learned in our episode with them). Theo took classes there when he was a kid. Around 2010, he walked in and asked how he could get involved. He joined the board and took over years later as interim executive director after a shakeup. In his tenure as interim ED, he helped get a $250K grant for lighting and sound. They were able to give grants to artists and they launched their SF Sounds series: an artist is actually on the floor with eventgoers for those events. I ask Theo about friend of this show Allegra Madsen and her time at BVOH. After stating the obvious, that Allegra is awesome, Theo says that the opera house wants to bring back Frameline and other film fests. "You shouldn't have to leave your neighborhood to catch a film," he says. We also talk about the Hey, Auntie! gumbo contest, which I helped judge, back in 2025 and which took place at the Bayview Opera house. Then we talk about Theo's run for D10 supervisor. The campaign's premise: We can do better in the Southeast. He ran back in 2018, but he's running again because of the potential he sees for the area to dictate the kind of community it wants to become. San Francisco obviously has equitable differences among different parts of our city. Theo cites better transit, housing, and support for small businesses among the most important issues he wants to tackle. Visit his website for more info: https://www.theoellington.com/.

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/684 Presented By:  Grand Teton Fly Fishing, Heated Core, Waters West, Angler's Coffee Today, we're surf fishing California, home to some of the toughest surf fishing spots in the country. Southern California also boasts one of the largest manmade bays and some of the best weather and fish species around. Tyler Vanosdell from Mission Bay Fly Fishing takes us from his roots on a cotton farm to becoming a San Diego fly fishing guide. Tyler shares the top three things you need to do before hitting the surf, the best apps to use, and essential tips for casting a full sink line. Plus, you'll learn why the strip set is critical and how walking your line can make all the difference. Show Notes with Tyler Vanosdell on Surf Fishing California.  02:10 - Growing up on a fifth-generation cotton farm in western Arizona, Tyler started fly fishing on the muddy Gila River, catching largemouth bass, catfish, and even carp before it became popular. 03:42 - Tyler spent time in Montana, Utah, Colorado, and even traveled to Mexico and Costa Rica before landing in San Diego. It was a chance offer from a friend needing a roommate that brought him to San Diego, and he's been there for almost 18 years now. Surf Fishing California: Where to Begin?  05:24 - The first thing Tyler teaches new surf anglers is understanding the conditions. The waves are constant in San Diego, so knowing how to read the waves, tides, and wind is key. Tyler also emphasizes showing beginners the right structure and how to use apps and gear. Must-Have Apps for Surf Fishing 06:43 - Tyler recommends starting with free apps for tides and wind. For waves, he suggests paying for Surfline, which costs about $10 a month. The cool part? Surfline offers live video feeds of different beaches, letting you scout out fishing spots before heading out. Surf Fishing Species 07:51 - Tyler talks about the top fish species to target in Southern California. Corbina - The most popular by far is corbina (or "beans"), which come into shallow waters in the summer to feed on sand crabs. Halibut - Tyler also loves fishing for halibut, especially the big ones. There are two types of halibut: Pacific halibut California halibut Croakers (like Yellowfin and Spotfin) Corvina - a toothy fish similar to white sea bass. Ideal Fishing Conditions and Timing Tyler explains that fishing in San Diego is possible year-round, but winter is his favorite time. It gets crowded in summer, so Tyler tries to fish early to avoid the crowds. When it comes to conditions, he looks for low-energy waves, around zero to two feet. For tides, he prefers lower ones, especially around zero to two feet, which helps him find good structures for casting. He also likes light winds, ideally 3 to 5 knots, for a smooth experience. Tyler encourages anyone interested in surf fishing to give it a try. The conditions might be tough some days, but other times, it feels like everything just falls into place. He believes if he can do it, anyone can. Gear and Casting Tips for Surf Fishing 18:57 - Tyler talks about the gear he uses for surf fishing. He usually takes one rod, sometimes two, with a backup just in case. He recommends a full sinking line of around 250 grains to handle the strong surf and currents. He explains how casting with a heavy sinking line takes a bit of practice but it's all about letting the rod do the work. Tyler also suggests using a wider casting stroke and double hauling for distance. Start close, work your way out, and you might even catch fish right in front of you. 24:18 - Tyler says low tide is the best time to spot fish-holding structures like rocks, holes, or steep beaches. These areas give fish a place to feed or wait for prey. Tyler also recommends checking out river mouths, which are great spots because they bring in brackish water full of baitfish that predators love. 29:15 - Tyler sticks to a few key flies like the Clouser and Surfin' Merkin, which are great for catching fish in Southern California. He uses size four hooks with medium dumbbell eyes, and colors like red and white, chartreuse, or olive. Tyler also likes red flies because they're popular in the area. Chasing Corbina and Other Fish 38:56 - Tyler talks about how fishing for corbina can be a mix of blind casting and sight fishing. Sometimes the fish are right at the water's edge, and you can literally see their backs and tails. To catch them, you often have to wade out into the water depending on where the structure is. Mission Bay Fly Fishing  44:11 - Mission Bay is the heart of fly fishing in San Diego. It's the largest manmade aquatic park in the U.S., offering 34 miles of fishable shoreline. You can walk around, cast, and explore different areas, making it super accessible. One of the coolest things about fishing there is the spotted bay bass. It's a unique species to the area, and you can catch them year-round. Tyler likes fishing at lower tides with an intermediate sinking line for better results.

LISTENER PROBLEM: Feeling Unfulfilled Despite Achieving My Goals (Part Three In this episode of *Join Up Dots*, we delve into the profound experience many successful individuals face after reaching the pinnacle of their careers or financial goals: the unsettling feeling of emptiness and the loss of that once-burning spark of motivation. You may have spent years, maybe even decades, striving toward a vision of success that involved financial independence, freedom from the daily grind, or the accomplishment of a lifelong dream. But what happens when you finally get there and realize that the victory feels hollow? We're joined by listeners from all corners of the globe who have bravely shared their stories of this very struggle. These stories are deeply personal, yet strikingly universal, highlighting a common challenge faced by those who have “made it” in life, only to find themselves asking, “What now?” Emma from Fitzroy, Melbourne, opens up about how she spent years building her business with the dream of financial independence as her ultimate goal. When she finally reached it, the fire that once fueled her drive seemed to vanish. She spent months trying to reignite that old spark, believing that she just needed to push harder. But as she listened to this podcast and heard the powerful quote, “If you're searching for the spark you used to have, maybe you've used it up,” Emma had a realization. Instead of trying to revive an old flame, she decided to search for a new one—a different kind of passion that could bring her fulfillment in this new phase of her life. Carlos from Lapa, Rio de Janeiro, shares a similar story. After building a successful tech company and achieving the financial freedom he dreamed of, he felt disconnected and lost. That same drive that once pushed him to work 80-hour weeks had disappeared, leaving a void he couldn't seem to fill. Carlos' story is a reminder that the journey often holds more meaning than the destination. Upon hearing the quote about using up your spark, he began to consider the possibility that it's time to discover a new passion—something entirely different that could bring joy and purpose back into his life. Aisha from Clifton, Karachi, takes us through her own journey of climbing the corporate ladder and securing a level of financial security she had always aspired to. Yet, after reaching the summit of her professional life, she found herself feeling empty. The spark that once drove her to excel had faded, leaving her questioning her next steps. The podcast made her realize that perhaps the spark that got her to this point isn't the one that will carry her forward. Aisha's story is a powerful example of how success can sometimes be a double-edged sword—fulfilling in one sense but leaving us searching for new meaning once the initial goals are achieved. In Newlands, Cape Town, Oliver shares how he, too, felt adrift after reaching financial success. He spent years building his career, and when he finally achieved the freedom he had always wanted, he was surprised to find that the excitement was gone. The podcast helped Oliver see that the energy and passion that drove him in the past might not be what he needs now. Instead of trying to reclaim that old spark, he has started looking for new ways to find fulfillment, like mentoring young professionals—a role that has begun to reignite his sense of purpose. Priya from Juhu, Mumbai, echoes these sentiments. After reaching financial independence, she found herself in a place of confusion and emptiness. The work that once filled her with drive and ambition no longer held the same appeal. Hearing the quote about using up your spark made Priya realize that it's time to move on from her past motivations and seek out new creative pursuits. This shift in perspective has started to light a new fire within her, one that she hadn't anticipated but is now excited to explore. Mark from Mission Bay, Auckland, also shares his story of early retirement after selling his business. What he thought would be a time of peace and happiness instead became a period of searching for meaning. Mark found himself missing the daily challenges and the sense of purpose that came with running his business. The podcast's discussion about using up your old spark resonated with him deeply, making him realize that it's okay to leave the past behind and seek out new passions. He's now exploring volunteer work, something that has begun to bring back a sense of fulfillment he had been missing. These stories from Emma, Carlos, Aisha, Oliver, Priya, and Mark illustrate a powerful truth: the goals that once drove us can only take us so far. When we reach them, it's natural to feel a sense of loss, as if the fire that once burned so brightly has gone out. But this doesn't mean the journey is over. It simply means it's time to find a new spark—a different kind of passion that aligns with where we are in life now. This episode of *Join Up Dots* is not just about recognizing the challenges that come with success, but also about embracing the opportunity to reinvent ourselves and discover new sources of joy and purpose. It's a reminder that the journey never truly ends; it just changes direction. If these stories resonate with you, or if you've been struggling with similar feelings after reaching your own milestones, we encourage you to join the conversation. Share your thoughts and experiences using the hashtags #JoinUpDots #FindingNewPurpose #LifeAfterSuccess. We'd love to hear from you and continue this important discussion.

Caretakers of a Mission Bay bird sanctuary are speaking out after an act of vandalism nearly destroyed the habitat.

In this episode of the Speaking Out of Place podcast Professor David Palumbo-Liu talks with acclaimed author and activist, and San Francisco legend, Chris Carlsson about his new novel, When Shells Crumble. It begins in December 2024, when the US Supreme Court nullifies the popular vote in the Presidential election and awards the presidency to an authoritarian Republican, who proceeds to demolish democracy and install a fascistic state that hastens ecological havoc. The novel is much more than your usual dystopian tale—it focuses on how to resist political cynicism and defeatism, and rebuild on planetary wreckage. It is a world-building project filled with wisdom, sadness, and joy. We specifically put this fictional text in conservation with his brilliant non-fiction work, Nowtopia, which offers a radical redefinition of “work” that restores dignity and value to their proper places.Chris Carlsson, co-director of the “history from below” project Shaping San Francisco, is a writer, publisher, editor, photographer, public speaker, and occasional professor. He was one of the founders in 1981 of the seminal and infamous underground San Francisco magazine Processed World. In 1992 Carlsson co-founded Critical Mass in San Francisco, which both led to a local bicycling boom and helped to incubate transformative urban movements in hundreds of cities, large and small, worldwide. In 1995 work began on “Shaping San Francisco;” since then the project has morphed into an incomparable archive of San Francisco history at Foundsf.org, award-winning bicycle and walking tours, and almost two decades of Public Talks covering history, politics, ecology, art, and more (see shapingsf.org). Beginning in Spring 2020, Carlsson has hosted Bay Cruises along the San Francisco shoreline.His latest novel, When Shells Crumble was published by Spuyten Duyvil in Brooklyn, NY at the end of 2023. At the dawn of the pandemic, he published a detailed historical guidebook of the city, Hidden San Francisco: A Guide to Lost Landscapes, Unsung Heroes, and Radical Histories (Pluto Press: 2020). His full-length nonfiction work Nowtopia(AK Press: 2008), offers a groundbreaking look at class and work while uniquely examining how hard and pleasantly we work when we're not at our official jobs. He published his first novel, After The Deluge, in 2004, a story of post-economic utopian San Francisco in the year 2157. He has edited six books, including three “Reclaiming San Francisco” collections with the venerable City Lights Books. He redesigned and co-authored an expanded Vanished Waters: A History of San Francisco's Mission Bay after which he joined the board of the Mission Creek Conservancy. He has given hundreds of public presentations based on Shaping San Francisco, Critical Mass, Nowtopia, Vanished Waters, and his “Reclaiming San Francisco” history anthologies since the late 1990s, and has appeared dozens of times in radio, television and on the internet.www.palumbo-liu.comhttps://speakingoutofplace.comhttps://twitter.com/palumboliu?s=20www.instagram.com/speaking_out_of_place

Two classic pin-up calendar pages with a hand written message on them are what Sally started with for this story. In this episode, we discuss a bit of pin-up art history and then get into the writing on the pages. Five sailors on the U.S.S. Mission Bay signed this "last will" and we'll tell you what we found out about these men. As most WW II Veterans have passed away, and Memorial Day was just weeks ago, we felt this was a form of remembrance --with a bit of a twist.Music in this episode:  Cattle Call - Eddy Arnold.  From: Internet Archive.Send us a Text Message.Please go to: https://diarydiscoveries.com to see episode photos and read our blog.
