Jan-Feb 2012/ Las Vegas & Florida

The Winter was spent following Jay’s High School Soccer Team through a very exciting season that ended with them losing in the State Championship Game. It was a tough ending to a wonderful season. Jay was a relatively young sophomore contributor to a senior laden team. He played about 20-30 minutes in most games, and it will be good experience for his final two years. Hopefully, they can get back there again, before he graduates.

Sareet went to Las Vegas to meet some of his college friends for Super Bowl Weekend. John, Sareet ,Jack and Brad had not lived in the same town (Taipei) together for 25 years, but they had been seeing each other very regularly through Sareet’s trips to the Far East. We managed to see a UFC Title Fight, while we were there (Condit vs. Diaz), and it is easy to see how this is rapidly overtaking boxing as the Vegas sport of choice. We also did play golf including a round at Shadow Creek, which is an amazing feat of architecture that Steve Wynn carved out of the desert by bringing in 20,000 trees.

Finally, after the disappointing end to the Soccer season, the school’s basketball team got to the State Semifinals, which was an opportunity to meet some old friends whom Sareet had not seen since high school graduation. We also had a nice surprise visit by the Weinsteins from Buenos Aires. It was fun seeing all the daughters growing up into nice young ladies.
