Short story: late Tuesday morning, Agueda had her locked bike stolen in front of Ross at Natomas Marketplace. Later that afternoon, Brenda spotted her bike next to a sleeping homeless man near Inderkum High School, called Agueda who drove over and verified the bike was indeed hers. They quietly picked up the bike and walked away. Agueda got her bike back minus a few accessories about 4 hours after it was stolen. In the early evening, Brenda went for a bike ride with Jim and Paul who titled the incident “Crime fighter by day, bike rider at night.”

Breathe Bike Trek

Originally scheduled for mid-September but postponed because of the Mosquito Fire, the annual Breathe Bike Trek happened this morning. Quite a few people couldn’t make it today which left a last-minute opportunity for Leo to ride. The Good Jibes team: Mellissa, Leo and I rode the 34-mile medium route together which was good because it was easy to miss a turn and then Mellissa got a flat tire about 2 miles from the end. I rode back to the start and drove back to pick her up.

At lunch after the ride. Sue Schooley, me, Sue Teranishi, Mellissa Meng.

Big applause to Mellissa who rode a regular bike and climbed 1500+ feet today in the foothills around Loomis, Newcastle and Penryn. Leo and I rode e-bikes .. climbing was not a problem.

Grandparents Day

at St Ignatius.

After the welcome reception, the classes came in one by one and students went to find their grandparents. I happened to be sitting with Zane’s grandparents, one of Carson’s good friends.

Then we all went to mass. Avery wasn’t with us because the 5th grade was in charge of the service. Leo, Jackson, Sophia, me, Carson. Hudson and his grandma Margaret (Jackson’s grandmother also) sat with us.

After mass, we visited every classroom and the upper science lab

Volleyball

I picked up Sophia Avery and Carson after school. One of Carson’s favorite games is Memory..

.. because he always beats me. His right hand is thumbs down over my very short stack.

Later, we all went to Sophia’s volleyball game at SI.
