  Daniella Spina sat with her foot in a bucket of hot water after getting nailed by a stingray at Bolsa Chica State Beach on Saturday. But the sharp pain didn’t spoil the outing.
  “I’ve been in the ocean my entire life,” said Spina, 19, who saw her classes at CSU Monterey Bay close up in March and has been home in Long Beach since. “The ocean is my home. It heals bad moods. It’s a pretty special place, especially after coming home and having nothing to do.”

  Justin Herbert glides on the surface. You never see the frenzied paddling underneath.
  Actually, the Chargers’ new quarterback is more of an iceberg than a Duck.
  Herbert, now 6-foot-6 and 240, was barely visible when he got to Oregon. He was a quarterback and a pitcher, not necessarily in that order. He jumped when the Ducks offered him a chance, since he and parents Holly and Mark had spent years of Saturdays in Autzen Stadium. For all the talk of Herbert’s boyhood Chargers jersey, y

  Even in childhood attempts at cooking, I found hot vegetables teamed with melted cheese an irresistible combination. At 8, I received mixed reviews from my family when I slathered perfectly innocent buds of hot-blanched broccoli with warm processed cheese-from-a-jar. The cheese formed an eerie orange mask over the florets, creating a smooth, porcelain-like finish that filled every nook and cranny.
