B participated in his first race event here in HK today. It was an "adventure" race. He said he didn't fully understand what all was involved... but that it was a fun time none the less. He survived. No broken ankles and he didn't poke an eye out. They ran on the beach, swam across a reservoir (our own drinking water supply no less), did some trail running and even some climbing.

The guys over here that work with B are all into being active. Lots of mountain biking, rowing, running and all kinds of healthy crap going on. Thankfully the women just enjoy meeting for coffee or lunch and perhaps some shopping. I heard someone was hosting a movie afternoon at their house to watch a chick flick while the kids were in school last week. Since it was D's first week of school and I was supposed to hang out there with him I had to pass. It is extremely social here. Always something going on which is really fun and also exhausting at the same time.

B took the kids to the grocery to pick up some stuff to make me a Mother's Day dinner. He said I was welcome to go out and eat by myself if I wanted. Which may sound weird but he knows me well--that's a very nice offer for me. I love to have alone time and never get it anymore. But I can't refuse a dinner prepared by him and the kids. I hope they make me a cake. I deserve it.
