Good morning, San Diego — hump day’s here and the week is dragging slower than I-5 at rush hour. Lucky for you, we’ve got something to look forward to: tickets to the Nerissa Sounds Jazz Cruise Sunday Brunch on 9/12. Champagne, sax solos, and an ocean breeze? That’s how you break out of midweek monotony.

Enter to win!
