Mike Wade and I were invited to accompany groups of students to a performance in downtown Sacramento. I left by bus from Foothill Ranch Middle School.

Lots of buses,

lots of students,

surprises like seeing Stacey, a friend of Justin’s (who came to my mother’s funeral a couple of weeks ago),


at the historic Crest Theater.

When I wanted to introduce myself to the teacher I was helping, she began the conversation, “You’rre Doug’s mother, aren’t you?” Uh, yes? Amber White Moore went to Alpha with Doug about 18 years ago.

Artistic director, Steven Valencia.


Los viejitos.


El chino.
