Update, Jan. 14.: Kaiser has made vaccine appointments available through the My Doctor Online phone line, 866-454-8855. While some have been able to make an appointment as early as next week, others say the line is overwhelmed and hold times are unmanageable.
Original story: All Berkeleyans who are 65 and older will soon be eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine under Gov. Gavin Newsom’s new guidelines announced Wednesday, but delays and confusion at every level of the process are calling into question when the majority of older residents in the city will receive their dose.

Drag racer Denny Guinta completes final lap

The toughest thing for any writer to do is announce the departure of a best friend. A best friend is closer than a brother even though both are gifts from God and both bonds are strong. But one does have a bit more latitude with a best friend than could take place with a brother or sister. Think about it.
I first met Dennis Guinta in a church I was affiliated with. The first time we saw each other in the aisle of the sanctuary, something clicked. We immediately launched into a lively conversation that was not about to end fast. We had strong ties in common: a fierce love for animals, a total commitment to God and to our wives. Plus we both had an explosive sense of humor. Sometimes we would get so tickled in a restaurant that other diners wanted to come and join us.
