Brian and I went to The Valley to play tennis. We ran into Ms. Genrich and she drove me all the way home. That night I hung out with Guy around Pining Rd.
[Note: I was appreciative of the ride and thought it was a super nice gesture; however, many people told me after that she was a notorious gossip and very nosy. Apparently she drove me home to get a sense of how I live - size of house, etc.]
[Note: The Valley is now called Adventure Valley]
