Member of LT here.
Heard rumor of 109 golfing members currently.
We go through pros like drawers, unfortunately. Thankfully we’ve kept Thomas Wartelle and Popp in the teaching facility.
Just turned and burned two excellent young pros who were super enthusiastic about junior golf, whic...

This doesn’t make sense, LPSS and Diocesan schools are governed by different entities. Why is diocese worried about wtf LPSS is doing for this. ...

Based on UK technical briefing 21, their rate is about 0.6%. Can be seen on page 33 of the document below. Best I can tell, it is no longer published. The US won’t ever publish this data. Only cook up a gotcha study that vaccine makes you more immune—waste of time with a 0.6% risk of reinfection...
re: Ochsner Lafayette - Vaccine Mandate Demand Letter
Posted by CaptainZappin on 9/2/21 at 9:51 am
This also has significance to anyone facing a mandate from a private business. These entities (OLOL, OLGMC) are private organizations trying to push a mandate on their employees--no different than O&G companies, Banks, etc etc etc. The implications of this could end up being widespread. I encoura...
re: Outlook on mask wearing mandates in Catholic vs. non-Catholic private schools

I have to respectfully disagree. I think you are incorrect about language development and the antidepressants.
If language development happened and was solidified at age 2, why are 6 years olds in speech therapy? Language development is way beyond just speech as well. I’m talking reading, en...

Put pressure on the schools to ease restrictions
Do the same to the diocese.
The only way this changes is with push back. If people want August 2021 to be normal, it has to start now ...

The children have essentially been voiceless in this.
Reverse the situation:
"horrible virus" killing scores of children. You think the adult government officials shut anything down?
Nope.
This doesn't adversely affect the kids. Its less of an issue than is the flu. Anything surr...
re: Outlook on mask wearing mandates in Catholic vs. non-Catholic private schools
Posted by CaptainZappin on 2/5/21 at 11:27 am
I would agree. People truly believe there is NO downside whatsoever and don't want to talk about. I get the most worked up about this for the kids. I know this isn't a normal way of life. Some people (parents at the school even) will say "Little Johnny is so adjusted now, he's doing fine."
Th...

Posted by CaptainZappin on 2/5/21 at 11:20 am
No problem. It's an incredibly charged conversation.
People want to ignore the social impacts of maskings/distancing/etc on children. It's a real problem. Pediatricians are seeing more and more kids on anxiolytics and antidepressants. Teenage suicides are being ignored. PK3-PK4 kids are havi...
re: Outlook on mask wearing mandates in Catholic vs. non-Catholic private schools
Posted by CaptainZappin on 2/5/21 at 11:18 am
I firmly believe that in children masks are useless. I really think they're fairly useless overall, unless youre symptomatic.
There is also excellent data that household spread is very, very, very rare (like 1%) if the positive index case is asymptomatic. Now, this is pre- the PCR cycling cha...

Long story short--it's because a small minority of parents will flip if you change anything.
I'm on an advisory board elsewhere for a large Catholic school in Louisiana and we are gradually loosening restrictions to try and make things normal for August 2021. I dont know where we will be stopped...

re: In the market for a great bay boat:
Posted by CaptainZappin on 8/9/19 at 9:43 am
I have a 2017 Triton 240 and love it. I take my kids a good bit and opted for the hard T Top. It rides very, very well and has a ton of storage and the front deck is massive. You can easily fish three people (who know what they're doing) up there.
I have done some near-shore mangrove fishing i...

JW Marriott, central park south, was excellent. Very close to a train substation and walking distance to Times Square, Lincoln Center, Broadway, and if the weather is nice walking to the Met would be fine too. I was fortunate to stay on points, I don't really know about pricing....
re: Question for the OT nurses and docs - smoker?
Posted by CaptainZappin on 4/13/18 at 10:36 am
Not only is the question required for meaningful use, but also we (the clinic) are required to "close the loop" in a smoking cessation recommendation. If we do not document that we mentioned smoking cessation and gave a handout, none of it counts. I cant beg them for 10 minutes to stop, but if it'...

Im in the process of completely retrofitting at 1448 alweld to a flats boat. I wanted to be able to get skinny in the marsh, and basically had the boat given to me. I'll post updates and pictures if I can figure it out once I'm done. I know it's not going to be useful in the bays, but I think it ...
