Athletic hall of fame and meeting Max Lugavere

So it’s been a while since my last post, and a lot has happened!

My college basketball team at Sterling College was inducted into our athletic Hall of Fame, so my husband and I made the long trek to Sterling, Kansas for the festivities. I had so much fun reconnecting with teammates – I was a little nervous because I had not done a good job of keeping in touch with them but after the first hug it was like we had just seen each other last week! The sad part was not having our head coach there. He died suddenly just weeks before. He was the most loving, respectful coach I could ask for and his death left a very big hole in the hearts of everyone on the team and in the Sterling community.

The college had a banquet planned on Friday night, followed by a parade on Saturday (where we were literally sitting on hay bales being pulled by a very large flatbed truck – pictures below to prove it), followed by a very nice reception and being honored at the football game that afternoon. Thanks to my husband, I have some great photos to share!

With the plaque (sorry, I cannot get the picture to show up correctly).

In other exciting news, I got to meet Max Lugavere, a young filmmaker who is making a new documentary about diet and dementia, Breadhead.  Max could not have been nicer. He spoke on the topic of diet and dementia for the company I run, ElderCounsel, at our annual Symposium. The room was packed, and the feedback was incredible. And yes, I do have a bit of a crush (with my husband’s permission)! Look for big things from Max, and please support his fundraising efforts for Breadhead!

My friends at work (in Marketing, of course) thought they would be cute and create this version of the picture:

Despite all of the fun things, I have been riding my bike.  Yesterday we rode Glendora Mountain Road and Glendora Ridge Road, and it was a gorgeous day! We normally don’t stop and take pictures, but I had to yesterday…

Oh and one more quick fun thing. We attended a fundraiser for Boystown last weekend and I was able to get a picture with my favorite news anchor from KTLA in Los Angeles, Chris Schauble! And we came home with 2 paddle boards from the silent auction (still sitting in the garage). But we will get to them…

I think that’s it for now. I could write for days about the election but I’m going to pass on that topic. At least for now…
