That was my suspicion from the beginning. We'll see soon enough.

It's a stupid pain in the ass, no doubt. Always allow for 3 hours for international connections when arriving in the US.

For an update, I got an e-mail from him on Wednesday: "Thank you so so much for the kind words and opportunity to support my cause. It's been terribly busy as far as work goes, so excuse my delay. I don't know when I would be able to find the time to meet up because I'm quite delayed with two projects i've found myself editing for and the deadlines are in two days, so I cannot say if we would be able to meet before then, but I wanted to at least stay appreciative of your time and your response. I can't thank you enough for taking your time to reach out to me and even offer support to me. That's massive, kind and generous to say the least. I hope you'll accept my sincerest appreciation for even the thought to do this for me. It's monumental. Take care. -Skyler" So maybe I'll hear from him later today or tomorrow, since the deadline is today. Here was my response: "Skyler, There's no rush. It's up to you. I will be at a medical conference in Irvine (I'm a doctor) from next Thursday to next Saturday, and then again out of town from the 18th to 24th, but the rest of the month is pretty free. It's a quick drive for me to get to Burbank--we often go to the AMC theaters there. We could meet at the Starbucks at Palm and San Fernando, or any other coffee shop of your choosing. Also, I'd be interested in hiring you as a magician for entertainment at a pool party I'm starting to plan for Saturday June 13th. The parties are lots of fun, with most of the guests in their 30s. Hunter Gallagher and Nick Mascardo are frequent guests at my pool parties, and we have shirtless bartenders and an open bar."

No, most countries don't make you do that when just changing planes. The US does make you go through customs and immigration on arrival from most countries (except Canada, Aruba, Bahamas, Bermuda, Ireland, and UAE), and to go through security again. However, one does not need to go through security again with domestic travel (or travel from those 6 countries).

Yes, that's one of his porn monikers. Here's his linktr.ee https://linktr.ee/Jkabobs

Unfortunately, LHR is the only UK airport which doesn't make people go through immigration in order to change flights. Obviously, changing airports also involves going through immigration, but even if you're doing the transfer within the airport at other London airports, including Gatwick, you need to go through immigration. AI Overview Yes, U.S. citizens need a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to transit through Gatwick Airport, effective for travel from February 25, 2026. Because changing flights at Gatwick usually requires passing through UK passport control, it is considered entry into the UK, necessitating this digital authorization.

London? Easy connections? LHR is a mess, and if you connect in Gatwick or other London airport you'll need at ETA unless you're an Irish/UK/Manx citizen.

Well, not needing any hard evidence, the court of public opinion has spoken, and California has changed Cesar Chavez Day to Farmworkers' Day. Why wait for any evidence? Accusation = guilt. https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/03/cesar-chavez-day-renamed/

Yes, that and the fact that he's not as hard-up for cash as he claims. I'm not hard-up for cash, but I was happy to meet the LA Opera's Major Gifts Officer when he offered to talk to me and my husband about the LAO over coffee--and all we got was a cup of coffee. I was surprised to learn that corporate donations make up only 10% of its budget, and that they rely more heavily on private donors such as myself. We did tell him, though, that we were disappointed that they are redoing both The Marriage of Figaro and Turandot, after having done them just a few years earlier. Apparently I was not alone in expressing this concern. We did tell him we would be renewing our subscriptions and our donations again this year, but would not do so if they kept on doing repeats. Well, I must admit he's quite handsome--though we're both quite happily married (in his case, to a woman, of all people) and neither hitting on each other. https://www.linkedin.com/in/timstephensonpiano/
