It’s always awkward to answer the question at Starbucks “What’s your name?” It’s especially awkward this time of the year when they yell out “medium latte ready for Santa!” ☺️

A reporter asked me “Why are you so involved with mental health advocacy?” I replied “It’s simple. I’m lucky that there is not an obituary that reads - Santa J. Ono, 1962-1976. All I want is for more youth struggling with mental health issues to receive the support they need.”

My message to the parents of UBC’s new students: As your kids transition from high school to university, it’s time to let them navigate challenges on their own. They may stumble, but in doing so they grow. If you continue to solve their problems for them, you stunt their growth.

IMHO, if UC wins out the season, it would be unconscionable for the CFP Selection Committee to exclude the Bearcats from the College Football Playoffs. The 62 AP voters recognize the exceptional season the Bearcats have had and rank them #3 in the nation.
