• Angels’ Mickey Moniak shakes season-long slump with better discipline

  SAN FRANCISCO — Mickey Moniak fouled off the first two pitches he saw from Brandon Pfaadt in the seventh inning Thursday night, putting the Angels outfielder in a quick hole against the Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander.
  Considering that Moniak was, at that time, hitting .179 and striking out in 27% of his plate appearances, his prospects didn’t look good.
  Moniak, though, took the next three pitches for balls, fouled one off, and then let another one go, drawing a walk.

  ANAHEIM — If I’d met Diego Aviles the first time anywhere beside a boxing gym, I would have assumed from his handshake that I was meeting a member of the student council.

  I always say that if there is a wave and a beach, the two things you are sure to find would be Boogie boards and surf schools.  Boogie boards have been around for well over 50 years now, thank you Tom Morey.  But actual surf schools were not all that common even 30 years ago.

  Revenge travel is losing its appeal.
  After three years of rushing to book trips in the wake of pandemic-era restrictions, sharply higher fares, protests against tourism, fatigue from endless hours spent in airports and incomes squeezed by inflation are all taking their toll on travelers.

  Q. Is there a secret to pruning lavender? Every time I try to cut it back it ends up dying!
  Lavender is a tough plant and will grow exceptionally well in the hot, dry inland areas. Sometimes a little too well. I’ve had some lavender plants grow to be 6 feet across. Unfortunately, when it gets that big it will sometimes look kind of rangy. The top part may be covered with flower spikes, but the bottom part will show a lot of bare wood and become unattractive. The temptation is to cut the wh
