The soccer monster appeared today as I was taking a nap. I wish the entire episode was a dream, but his is my reality. I have not been feeling well. I guess my turn has arrived – started five days ago as a tickle in my throat in Thailand. Could be a product of all the dental work in Thailand. Could be just my turn. One of the videos that Ezra has watched has a little boy who is a soccer monster and turns other children into soccer monsters. Surely sponsored by AYSO. A soccer monster just goes around and kicks a soccer ball over and over and over again. Sounds cute … until the soccer monster is in your house and the soccer ball is being kicked over and over and over again into your bedroom door where you are sleeping off a cold from Thailand. I was the first one up this morning and was able to take a short walk along the beach for sunrise. I tried to wake the others, but no takers. The water buffaloes were there to greet me … and the sun. I am pretty certain that the mountains directly East of here are the mountains of the Mount Kinabalu range. That mountain is calling my name over and over again … not like a monster, but like a friend. “Come climb the mountain out of the heat of the lowlands.” We will see. I went on a bike ride with Ezra and Viena. They appear to both like their bikes. At the playground they have a small concrete “race” track – an oval of about 100 meters. Ezra loves riding around, but became too comfortable and did not see the broken concrete and crash … down he went – tough little guy. We have two paper books we are travelling with – “Thank You Logan” and “Mr Bump”. Ezra is our version of Mr Bump.
