Because it’s Super Bowl weekend, today I wore my only football-related sweatshirt – Saskatchewan Roughriders – when Terri and I went to brunch and then a play. When we walked into Paragary’s, a man sitting nearby called out “Hey Roughy” and we struck up a conversation. He was from Winnepeg Manitoba – home of the Blue Bombers.
The White Chip – one man’s journey to sobriety – a very good play.
A few of us met at Track 7 Brewing on Friday afternoon.
The food truck out front was busy.
My neighbors, Matt and Colleen,
are moving to Oregon. Tonight, their Four Seasons Westshore friends met at the lodge to say goodbye.
Sophia and Lenin went to Las Vegas for a volleyball tournament. Thais managed the boys’ weekend activities. Flag football in the rain which I skipped. I did go to Avery’s basketball games on Saturday and Sunday.
One of my neighbors, who also went on one of our group bike rides, was looking at this blog and saw a picture of someone he knew. “That’s Mimi!” Mimi is one of Maria’s nicknames. Today, Tim and Maria drove down from Lake Wildwood and played golf with Mike and Agnes. Afterwards, I joined them for dinner at Mike and Agnes’.
Today, Carson turned 9 years old. We met at Leatherby’s for dinner and ice cream. Leah, Holly, Brooklyn, Carson, Lenin, Thais, Avery, Justin, Jeff:
Laurie, Lori and I rode to La Costa Cafe this morning. A very cute coffee and breakfast place at 19th and G Streets.
Pierson led the ride north on the Sacramento Northern Bike Trail.
Elaine and I went to Shelley Burns birthday celebration. Shelley does weight training with Elaine and is quite a good jazz singer. She organized a birthday dinner and concert at Twin Lotus Thai which an “annex” for musical performances.
Shelley with her four sisters. They were once the Burns Sisters.
C K McClatchy High School opened in 1937. A lot has changed in the past 87 years. 2000 students attend, most live more than two miles from school.
Located on two-lane Freeport Blvd, pick up and drop off times are a nightmare for everyone. I’m on a committee exploring ways to improve the situation. In addition to the principal and school district staff, there were members of various stake holders: the parent-teacher association, Councilmember Ric Jennings office, the City traffic engineer and parking director, Regional Transit and the County Sheriffs office. There were some really good ideas brought up.
When we were on our trip to NYC in December, we chatted about meals we enjoyed. I found out Linda really likes beef short ribs. Today I had Kathy, Linda, and Ann over for lunch – short ribs, of course, using Justin’s beef – they brought all the side dishes.
And .. we talked about what our next travel adventure might be. Exciting!
