Message 826

I am late getting this message off today because I just got back from San Mateo watching Beech's first soccer game and having lunch afterward with him and Julian, who are coaches. Beech was by far the smallest on his team, but he played very well. His team actually lost, but they all did OK. Last night Mimi and I went to dinner and a movie with the Morrills and the Ariagnos. We ate at a Brazilian place in Palo A lot that was buffet and all you could eat. The movie was Mao's Last Dancer, based on a true story about a peasant boy who was taken at age eleven and trained to be a classical ballet dancer. He defected to America (in Houston , Texas) and became a world famous dancer. I suppose Liz and Bill must have noticed the story in their local paper at the time. I give it 3.6 stars.
