Elias is going to Berkeley
Last week, we toured the campus. Today was Cal Day. Berkeley is filled with wonder. Eli is excited. The College of Chemistry, Chemical Engineer, seems like a rigorous curriculum, with small college community (only a thousand students), inside a much larger prestigious university -- a good fit for Eli. He saw many friends from Davis High, who are also going to UCB, some from his soccer team, and some even in his same major. Yesterday, the Davis Enterprise published an article about his leadership on the DHS tennis team. I am excited to see him challenge himself and grow.

Life goes on...
Henry, Lisa, Pearl and I hang out more often now, whenever Lisa is in town. Hopefully, we will go to Korea when we are 60 years old. T and Nguyen moved to Boston. We had our pickleball farewell celebration dinner. Chris Kim has been playing with us recently. Wajohn moved to New Jersey. This was one of his last days at work. I am lucky to have work friends. I am playing piano at the Lodge, several retirement homes, and public pianos. A woman bought me flowers at the co-op in appreciation. She called it her own private concert! It's become one of my escapes from reality, lol. I bought Lisa's porsche, learning to drive stick again!

Retirement?
Thursday, January 5, 2023
Kings Basketball, Pickup Soccer & Pickle ball, Rebekah Lodge
Pick up soccer, pickleball, piano, Kings Basketball games, Quacera, Odd Fellows, Rebekahs, work, and local live music events fill my calendar. It's nice to see Caleb and Philip regularly -- either at King's games, pick up soccer, or dropping by the house. Mae graduated and is working. Eli is a Junior in High School and plays tennis and AYSO soccer. Pearl enjoys working part-time as a 3rd grade teacher at North Davis Elementary School. I am learning to embrace both my joys and tears each day, to appreciate both, as they compliment each other. I had a great time at the Odd Fellows Halloween Party, as Zoltar. I won the prize for best men's costume. Work has been good. We finally had a reunion lunch together, after the COVID lockdown. Mae graduated! She has been working at University Retirement Center for over a year now. Christmas and the New Year has come and gone. We hosted both families this year.
