Oct 13 Journal

I took M to Bellevue Aquatic Center for swimming after dinner where we ran into M.V. and his 3-year-old daughter. He also recognized me, but it was a bit awkward. He told me the warm spring was closed due to water contamination. I thanked him. I have been working on the same project with him for a few months now. He is a nerdy introvert with beautiful eyes and cute face. I like him a bit and want to get to know about him and am curious about his life. He’s married with a 1-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter. The old me would have wanted to break all rules and approach him; now I would probably feel good about having this experience meeting him in my life.

We went camping the past weekend at Snowpeak Campsite in Long Beach. It was fun and relaxing with hot springs and kids entertaining themselves. Pulled over both ways near South Bend. Was able to get away the first time, but the second time police officer gave me a ticket of 5 mph over speed limit (though I was driving 15 mph over speed limit.)
