Tomorrow, Eli and I are off to Malaysia with Steven and Matthew Ong. I am excited for the adventure. It's an opportunity to reflect on this past season and consider retirement and next steps. In some sense, I could imagine using my retirement to boast the community that I have grown to love and appreciate so much. Game nights with extended family, joining a band, volunteering at Odd Fellows, coffee with friends....
Philip ran the CIM in 3 hours 19 mins. It was fun to cheer him on at mile 18 and the conclusion. I admire his dedication. He trained so many hours and often drove to Davis early in the morning to run. I could never imagine the discipline, but he has encouraged me to perhaps run a 5k.

Darryl visited. It was good for the whole gang to get together for a couple of days. As I get older, I hope to show my appreciation for lift long friends. I hope we all go to Korea for our 60 birthdays. As we get old, there will be a limited time for our health, interest, and friendship. 
Mae and I dressed up for Halloween and went to the Odd Fellows Party. It was fun to dress up and dance! 
I was invited to Howie's birthday party. It was a wonderful evening. If I ever have a retirement party, I would like to follow the same formula. I appreciate the many friends I have come to know at Odd Fellows. We were all meant to Dance (and play soccer). 
Caleb has been great about purchasing Kings games. It was fun to go with Chris and Ameya. It's fund to watch the Kings on TV too. I am a fan, Sacramento Kings! 
Playing pickup is a treasure. Philip and Caleb often play and sometimes Eli too. The exercise is vital for my health and mental well being. I appreciate the many friends I have made on the soccer field. We also joined an inaugural AYSO adult league. Caleb, Philip, Ameya, Minh. Go purple! 
I went to my 35th high school reunion. Fun to see Philip, Sean, Laura, Robin, Corey, Gloria, Franny, Rick, Robert Lee, David K.
Eli is really good at tennis. Four years on the varsity team. He will likely play #2 or #3 on the team this year. I am excited to watch him, our last one in high school. He is applying for colleges now. Soon, he will graduate and move away.
We had Thanksgiving at Chris and Leah's house.
