On Fire!

Badminton tonight, am feeling so good, so full of energy. Play for the usual two hours, and still feeling ready to go at the end. Think I am playing better than ever before, winning all my games. My senses were so attuned to the game, and to the other players - it is so much fun! :)

Not as many here tonight as usual, Megan and Heather and several others are away. But play with Peter and Despina and Michelle and Pierre and Madhura and several others.

Peter Bartush, the badminton instructor, has his arm in a sling at the moment. He has sutures in his shoulder somewhere, and can't move it, even has to be all tied up at night when he sleeps. He has been playing for years, and plays lots of other sports, and has had so many sports related injuries he has almost lost count. He's an excellent teacher - when not in a sling he can put the birdie anywhere on the court.

I signed up for the summer - will sweat a lot, but don't want to wait till the fall or I will have forgotten things and have to relearn them. Can't have that - this is too cool to miss!

Pierre and Madhura

"Who are you and what have you done with my son?"

I drive Charlotte to her friend Jenny's place, all dressed up in her witches outfit, and they go off together tricking and treating (probably all of the latter of course, watch out for that sugar rush).

Get back and ask Jake if he wants to go out as well, and he says "No dad, you deserve to have a break too, go and play your badminton tonight. I'll go out for Halloween next year."

He is getting so considerate lately, its like he's a new person.
