Happy May

Two recent athletic feats of note:

Dan ran 5 miles or so in a relay organized by some co-workers in the Big Sur Marathon last Sunday. Congratulations! He had a good time albeit having to get up at 3:30 a.m., not to mention getting sunburned.

Owen played well in his baseball game on Sunday, including a diving catch of a ball hit by the son of his guitar teacher, and was awarded the game ball. He thought that was pretty cool.

I've been working in the garden, and hoping we can produce a few veggies this year. We also have a new compost bin under the sink which is rapidly filling up and hopefully will give us some good fertilizer.

Today is Schoolapalooza, a fundraiser for the Davis Schools Foundation ... so far they have raised over $800,000 which is a good start but not enough to buy back all the teachers. We are still waiting to hear about the Montessori ones. May 15 is the deadline for the money to be raised; after that the board will begin figuring out who they will bring back.
