2. Max, his friends, his teammates, his coaches and I all met for All-stars at County. It was so nice to see familiar faces in a familiar place again.
3. New Balance shoes on sale at the beach, right outside at the sidewalk sale. A mere fraction of what I'd pay on this side of the mountains. Destiny.
Let's call it minor damage: three pairs of shoes (1 for Max, 1 for Markus, and 1 pair for me) and a t-shirt for Markus. How was I to know I'd be in California during sale season?
