those happy golden rule days

The maple trees are in full bloom, bits of red fuzz on the ends of all the twigs. The redbud trees are flowering too, covered in lavender-pink.

Last Tuesday evening -- a week ago -- my high school had a Back to School Night, for alumni to see the teachers again and have a good class with them. I attended "An Evening in Middle Earth," with my 12th grade English teacher, whom I remembered fondly. I was disappointed to find that he didn't seem to remember me. I was also hoping to see people I went to school with, but I think I was the youngest person there by many years.

I had a nice weekend. Saturday was windy and very warm. I went to the park to attempt to fly a kite, but didn't get it higher than 30 feet or so off the ground. The wind kept shifting.

On another happy note, I found a tea shop that sells tapioca pearl milk tea, one of apparently just three sources of bubble tea in my city.
