All Souls\u2019 to present \u2018A Christmas Carol\u2019
\nAll Souls\u2019 Episcopal Church, on Point Loma, will present an adaptation of Charles Dickens\u2019s “A Christmas Carol” on Dec. 9 and 10. The two-man play has been adapted for the stage and is directed by Patricia Lynch.\u00a0 It features\u00a0W. William Cobb as Ebenezer Scrooge and Raymond Lynch as a dozen other characters. \u00a0
\nCobb has recently retired from teaching theatre in Point Loma schools. He has performed as a folk singer and choral singer, as well as appearing on stage with Lyric Opera San Diego, Vanguard Theatre, and San Diego Musical Theatre.
\nLynch has performed off-Broadway, at the Mark Taper Forum, and at Shakespeare festivals in Wisconsin, Colorado, and California. Locally, he has acted at the Coronado Playhouse, Pickwick Players, and the Old Globe. On television, his credits include playing Hot Lips Houlihan\u2019s fantasy bridegroom on “M*A*S*H.” On the big screen, his credits include Sir Richard Attenborough\u2019s “Chaplin.”
\nAll Souls\u2019 is hoping to re-emerge as a “go-to” place for concerts, art shows, and theatrical presentations. The Music on the Point series has been in existence for 21 years, and last spring the church hosted a photography exhibit by architect Robert Mosher (who designed All Souls\u2019) and an art show by renowned artist Ludmila Pawlowska. The Bach Collegium is in residence at All Souls\u2019, offering Bach at Noon concerts.\u00a0 Coming up in June will be Benjamin Britten\u2019s opera for young performers, “Noyes Fludde,” based on the Biblical account of Noah\u2019s Flood.
\nPerformances of “A Christmas Carol” will be in Gooden Hall on the All Souls\u2019 campus, located at the corner of Catalina and Chatsworth, in Point Loma. Performances begin at 7 p.m. on Dec. 9, and 2 p.m. on Dec. 10. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students. Tickets may be purchased at allsoulspointloma.org.

\nHoliday travel can be notoriously stressful \u2013 unexpected weather delays, lost luggage, long layovers \u2013 but it doesn\u2019t have to be. To help, Lyft San Diego pulled some data from last year to show the busiest days\/times for airport rides to help travelers plan ahead. Based on the findings:
\nBusiest pickup dates\/times from the San Diego International Airport\u00a0(in descending order by ride volume):\u00a0
\n1. ) Sunday after Thanksgiving (busiest time: 8 p.m. to 1 a.m.);
\n2. ) Monday after Thanksgiving (8 a.m.);
\n3. ) Day after Christmas (8 p.m. to 1 a.m.);
\n4. ) Second day after Christmas (8 p.m. to midnight).
\nBusiest drop-off dates\/times at the San Diego International Airport:\u00a0
\n1. ) Wednesday before Thanksgiving (4 to 7 a.m., 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.);
\n2. ) Friday before Christmas (4 to 7 a.m.);
\n3. ) Thursday before Christmas (4 to 7 a.m.).
\n“As expected, there are certain days, like the Sunday after Thanksgiving, that are traditionally packed days at the airport,” Lyft San Diego market manager Hao Meng said. “However, the data also shows us that people want to try and spend as much time with their families as possible, getting to the airport early mornings prior to the holiday and returning late evening on the last day possible before work or even the morning of work.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
