Saturday night, Oct 17, 2015....................
I'm not sure where to start. Saturday dinners are the best at our cafeteria, they have another name for it here, a military name like DEFAC or something. Steak, and some seafood, and some other great part of a meal. Saturday is not the day to miss. I was going to skip it, to go to the gym and then play ultimate with the Firemen. I didn't. I'm not really sure why I decided to go in there and try and keep the food on my plate to a minimum unsuccessfully, but I did. The gym still happened. I was only there for a half hour, cause I really don't stop moving too much. A long time resident of the island, B, was there. He has two daughters that graduated from Kwaj high. He's from Cleveland. I've been trying to help him with kiteboarding. He's a long time windsurfer, trying to convert. I met him at our Frisbee field when he was playing with his new kite. His two high school daughters were here helping him. That was early in the year, when Frisbee didn't happen sometimes. So I waited a bit, making sure he didn't attach the lines to the kite wrong, and then left.
Bruce has helped me at the Yacht club, getting me signed off on the Sunfish, and taking me out on the Hobie Cat a few times. Just a solid good guy. He kind of looks like an old Christopher Reeves. He might be 60.
After the gym, I went to the store and bought some beer and stuff, then headed to the field behind the fire department to play Frisbee with the firemen. Great guys. Some of them don't look like they are in shape and can run like a gazelle. There is one that is in great shape that runs like a sea tortoise after a bit. All of them are great to play with. Two women play. Maria, from Germany, has gotten a lot better. The new girl, who doesn't like it cause she's new and can't throw the Frisbee doesn't like it so much. I'm not sure how long we played, but it was well after dark. I went over to the Vet's Hall after to have a few beers, where I saw my coworkers.
