January 13--Thinking of oatmeal bread

Malida got up before me to get ready for her Pilates class. I was in no hurry for anything, so I got up and had a leisurely cup of coffee. After she got back, I got ready, and we had a nice walk along the creek trail.

Malida sits in the park at the far end of the trail, amused by something, while I capture a portal. While we were walking, we came across a little girl and her parents. the girl was fascinated by everything she saw. "Look! It's a turtle! Look--a squirrel!" It was delightful to see her delight in the things we see every day.

After the walk we went to eat at the Korea BBQ place. It was crowded, but we got in pretty quickly and had our fill. After we got home, Malida took a nap and I worked on school stuff.

In the evening, I went to a relatively new brewery place to hear a band that is led by the son of one of my former ICU co-workers. He is only 18, but already on his way. I enjoyed the show and got a chance to talk with him a bit. He is both humble and grateful for his success thus far.
