Reno, Binge TV, Thanksgiving, X-Country, Thoughts of Retirement, Extra Soccer


We traveled to Reno for 1 day to escape the smoke.   The air quality has been extremely poor, as the Camp Fire in Butte County rage out of control.   It was a simple getaway, when school was unexpected close.

Over the last couple of years, I've discovered binge TV shows.   I watched most of the Homeland series.   Now, I'm watching Bosch.   The shows can be addicting.

We celebrated the Thanksgiving (Toy side) lunch at our house.  It was good to see everyone.  I think lunches are easier, as I'm not as tired.   Then, we went to the Louie's for dinner.



Eli ran cross country in the Fall.  He is fast, as he finished 4th overall for all 7th graders in the yolo area.  He is dedicated.

We won our first Extra Soccer tournament in San Ramon.   In the championship game, Eli had one of the penalty kicks.   He made his shot!   It was exciting.  

I continue to explore retirement.  My boss is retiring at the end of the year.   I'm never sure of the right balance between work, leisure, purpose, fulfillment, responsibility.
