Some updates

Wanted to give a few updates:

I have announced at the last meeting that I wouldn’t run for another term on my condo complex’s board of directors. After November 24, I will no longer be the President of the Board. It will be nice to not worry as much on how the condo is doing and there was stress when we had to pass a special assessment or had to raise assessments. I am happy that I was on the Board, and I think that I have helped a lot of people while I was first Secretary and then President of the Board. The proudest achievement was getting a very corrupt administrator of the complex out of there when we first started back in 2003.

Andy, my oldest son, is doing OK in school and we will continue to watch his progress and make sure he is doing his assignments in school. This will be vital, because it seems like 7th grade is more difficult than 6th grade was. He will definitely need to work harder than last year.

Ted is doing well in football and continues to play every minute of the football games. His team is younger and smaller than the other teams that they play, and they have not won any games yet. I hope they continue to learn and improve. They have 2 more games to go. They are playing the 1st place team and they will play the same team in the tournament. I doubt that they will win, because they other team is bigger and stronger. Hopefully, Ted and his teammates will not get hurt against this tough team.

Brianna and Ted both celebrated birthdays this past week. Brianna is now 7 and Ted is 10. (On December 4, Andy will be a teenager and celebrate his 13th birthday.) Brianna & Ted had fun celebrating their birthdays at the Hollywood arcade, a place where kids can have birthday parties.

Lately, things seem all right, and there is not as much reason to complain. I am also happy with the way the upcoming election is going for the United States. It looks as though November 4 will be a happy day as the candidates running for office have good chances in winning. But nothing is guaranteed and we won’t know until Nov. 4 what the outcome will be.
