It was quite a gratifying Saturday as I had a chance to be out and about in the Community.
As the team reported on it in "South County Matters", the Relay for Life For Laguna Niguel was yesterday. I joined the Relay for Life briefly in the morning as I registered and thereafter made the rounds. It was gratifying to see how the community had risen up to be able to fight cancer and seeing so many survivors come together--and so many friends. I did my small part by helping to "break the ice" by buying two long-standing books I had been on the "hunt" for a long time: The Kite Runner & Three Cups of Tea.
After that, I went off to join the Aliso Niguel Water Polo Alumni Day. It was also a fundraiser for the team whereby I served as Grillmaster helping to grill Hamburgers and Hot Dogs--Hopefully they were not all too "Raw"!! It was quite a beautiful day as once again parents came together for one singular purpose: to support the youth of our Community.
After a bit of a respite (and facilitating some daily updates on the Grid for #outsiders), I then went off to Irvine to assist in a petition drive to support the deal with Iran with the Orange County Chapter of NIAC Action and the @OC4Peace . In my private capacity, I have noted that I am in favor of it because of the possibilities it represents for the people and I have noted it here in my own "corner". The team was successful in garnering some 230+ signatures on this day of the quest for #Vote4Peace. As I was finishing off my Daily Rounds "on the grid", I saw that the noted dissident Nasrin Soutodeh has spoken out in favor of the deal as well--I guess I'm in good company. This is also as I just saw that Senator Harry Reid, the current Majority Leader, has come out in Support of the deal with Iran.
I ended Saturday with joining the Relay for Life as it wound down this day of service. In honor of my late Aunt who I lost to Brain Cancer, my cousins fighting this dreaded diseases, those who have survived it, and all the other loved ones who have lost their struggle with this dreaded disease, I joined in the silent final march as I reflected upon this day and continue to proudly wear the wristband given to me yesterday today as a sign of respect.
Onward--as I end these "thoughts" with an image I captured from this day:
It it also quite a day today becuase it is "Ibn Sina" day that our team released it earlier today.
Never a dull moment in our World..For sure...
