met an old friend @ IAD




 

I was eager to get back to my workout routine; however, I had to skip a hike to meet up with an old friend on Sunday. I only ran 6 miles ( ~10 km) after landing DC for 24 hours. It is cold in DC (55f = 13c) and at the end of foliage.
I hadn’t seen this friend for years. We tried to meet in China or Taiwan, yet finally did it at IAD airport for about 1.5 hours before she departed for TX.

A play: Fiddler on the Roof at the Reston Community Center







 I dozed off while unpacking backpacks of my 2.5-month oversea trip, and almost missed tonight’s usher for Fiddler on the Roof at the Reston Community Center. I watched the movie while I was studying at high school, that was very different from this musical comedy version. I was touched by the heartwarming story of fathers and daughters, husbands and wives, and life, love and laughter. The fact that I stayed awake for the 3-hr play after 24-hr flights said something about how good the play was. You should come to Reston to see it.
