Normally I just help coach this crew, but today I ran practice by myself.
Five minutes into practice Stewart, my friend who does the lead coaching, got a call from his wife. Someone had just run through their front gate, through their front door, through their hallway and grabbed her purse!! They had just taken off, so Stewart left in hot pursuit since their house is in the same village as our practice. But they got away.
What a mess for them. Four of their passports were in her purse, and next week they are scheduled to renew their residence permits for living here. Not to mention the pile of money.

Tomorrow our village, Budaörs, will have no power. Just like yesterday. Local construction needed the leeway – but all day for two days?
Around 2:30 pm yesterday Cathy called me in a panic. She had carpool duty, but since the power was out, she couldn’t open the garage door without the electric door opener. So we had to borrow someone else’s car to make the run. It made me think of all our friends in Orlando who experienced the same power outage due to the hurricanes, so we didn’t complain too much.
