I helped lead a dialogue session on being a diverse, including community for representatives of Menaul School. Eric Law was the main trainer and I had the privilege of helping. It was a good experience. Tomorrow we work with all the faculty, staff, administration, and volunteers. Saturday is an event for the larger Albuquerque community.
Eating has not gone well although it has not been high calorie foods that I have been overeating.

Today’s exercise involved walking two miles around the Menaul School track. It was good fun.
Then came the opportunity to preach at chapel. That takes place every day and lasts about 15 minutes. There were a couple of announcements. Then the brief worship service. One of the students read the scripture. Chaplain Buddy Monahan did the introduction and off we went. I think it went a bit long – but even those students who were going to lunch after the chapel hung in and listened well. A fun experience.
Eric Law got in a bit before 7:00. We had dinner at the Range Cafe – a local chain. It was pretty good. The one where we went is actually located next to a Days’ Inn where I have stayed on a number of occasions when I have been in Albuquerque. But I never tried the restaurant before. We did some planning for tomorrow and agreed to meet for breakfast to continue.
11,736 steps.
See you along the Trail.
Today was a travel day. I flew from Louisville to Albuquerque. For the next six days, I will be at Menaul School where I will assist Eric Law in some training events.
This meant that I did not achieve my goal of a concentrated exercise for 30-45 minutes. And that meant that I did not achieve my stepping goal. I ended the day at 7,657 steps. I did however eat well. And that is pretty big given how I usually overeat excessively on travel days.
This evening I went to the basketball games of the Menaul Panthers. I believe the last time I was at a high school basketball game was 1984.
The Panthers came away with two wins. The women’s team won handily. It was 28-4 at the end of the first quarter. The team continued to pull away and substituted frequently and slowed down the game to keep from running up score even more.
The men’s team pulled out an overtime win in a game that both teams tried to give away. The officials did not have their best game either.
It was fun to watch young people play for the joy of playing and being part of the team and representing their school. The middle school pep band added to the enjoyment.
