Doing mostly Community Service with Lions International, Knight of Columbus, as well as with the American Legion.

At home, I do mostly gardening, tending to our fig, pomegranate, persimmon, orange, pear, lemon, as well as calamansi trees. For mental exercise, do the daily cross word puzzle, reading the Sacramento Bee, and some classics.
