Nico traveled to Florida this weekend to attend the wedding of one of his high school buddies. Pictured above is the Concord Carlisle High School cohort in attendance. Below, he is seen with his high school prom date who lives in California now. Unable to attend his 10th high school reunion because he was gravely ill, I am sure he enjoyed this opportunity to reconnect with his former classmates.

I returned to the soccer pitch for my first match in 9 months. I am now playing in the over-62 league and our opponents were from the over-55 division. We secured a 2-0 victory in this friendly tune-up game. I played for 45 minutes and the only thing that can be said of my performance is that I did not get injured. Fortunately, this complied with the directive issued to me by Jeanine as I left this morning in advance of our approaching two-week vacation in the UK. I am hopeful that all the hiking we have planned will have me return substantially more prepared for all the running my wing-midfielder position demands.
