A Day in San Francisco / First Day of School

Pearl and I enjoyed an afternoon in San Francisco exploring the Castro and Mission neighborhoods.   We had lunch, walked the streets, admired the murals, and then picked up Caleb from the airport in the evenings.   It was a simple getaway, only a few hours, yet quite enjoyable.  I particularly liked Dolores Park, with the SF skyline in the distance.   For dinner, we enjoyed dumplings!




School has started.  We had back to school night at DaVinci.  I am teaching the coding class again.  Caroline Loomis is the co-teacher and I like her experience and classroom management skills.  I am definitely learning from her, an experienced teacher.

My thoughts wonder often about retirement.  I am fortunate to have this opportunity.  Work is an important part of my identity; yet, it does not consume me.   In my new role, there are elements of stress.   Finding the right balance is difficult.   While I enjoy my job, I wonder, if I retired, would find enough purpose in my many projects?
