Whirlwind of March (Madness!)

 One spare weekend day this month the girls and I got a nice spring hike.

 Catching up with two USA Volleyball Olympic coaches who also coach Pepperdine, David Hunt next to Emma and the legendary Marv Dunphy. Marv coached Karch Kiraly to a gold medal at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul and worked as Karch's consultant/confidante in Rio. 

We became good friends.

 Just a chance meeting with the world's best water polo player at Stanford,

 Thanks to my Mom for coming down ... we celebrated her birthday early.
