In the Spotlight at Royal Oaks

Russ Muller

By Joyce Forte, Roving Reporter

Another member of the Royal Oaks HOA Board has agreed to be “In the Spotlight” for this month’s newsletter. Russ Muller, our smiling HOA Secretary, took some moments away from his beloved time “on wheels” to answer a few questions. He and his wife Lisa live on Royal Oak Drive. You are apt to find Russ in a number of places around Royal Oaks Park - reading the minutes at an HOA Meeting each first Tuesday at 6:30PM, “socializing” at one of the Clubhouse Social Hours on specified Saturdays at 4:30PM, keeping his sense of humor and brain engaged at the monthly TRIVIA Events and much more. Read on to learn where Russ lived before arriving at Royal Oaks.

JOYCE: Tell us a little about yourself.

RUSS: I was born and raised in Essen, Germany, the younger of two children. I have an older sister (Sabine). I moved permanently to San Francisco in 1985 to work as a nurse in acute HIV care. I also wanted to explore “The West” on my motorcycle.

JOYCE: Where did you grow up/attend high school?

RUSS: I lived in my hometown of Essen, West Germany until I was 28 years old. I attended the Kaiser Wilhelm School in Essen.

JOYCE: How long have you been associated with/lived at Royal Oaks?

RUSS: We bought our present house in 2019 while still living in SF. We permanently moved to Royal Oaks in 2022 after our retirement.

JOYCE: What do you think makes Royal Oaks a special place to live?

RUSS: The structure of the park, like a subdivision, the Green Belt with the clubhouse and swimming pool is great. Also the easy access to all kinds of recreational activities. We feel welcome here, easily made friends and enjoy the feel of a close community. We love our neighborhood.

JOYCE: In your spare time, what do you like to do?

RUSS: Foremost, I love riding motorcycles and all that comes with it (camping, motorcycle rebuilding, etc.). Not enough space here to describe. Besides that, we (my wife Lisa and I) enjoy traveling, ballroom dancing, hiking, working out, and good food at home and in a restaurant.

JOYCE: What is something unique that people would not guess about you?

RUSS: Professionally, that I am a nurse. Secondly, that I ballroom dance. Even I can’t believe it.

JOYCE: What kind of food(s) do you enjoy the most?

RUSS: Homemade dishes by Lisa, new California cuisine with Asian influences. And salmon in any form.

JOYCE: Do you have any special sports teams that you cheer on?

RUSS: I am a casual sports fan. Locally, I am a fan of the SF 49ers and the Giants. My true passion is with my local former hometown soccer team, Rot-Weiss Essen.

JOYCE: Is there a certain place, near or far, that you have visited and still hold in your heart?

RUSS: Every motorcycle ride on a twisty road. It has a spiritual quality. If I have to choose a place, it would be San Francisco. When I woke up (there) in the morning, I felt better.

JOYCE: Do you have a favorite movie that you never tire seeing again?

RUSS: “Drugstore Cowboy”. It just hit a nerve at one point in my life with staying power.

(Note: This 1989 Crime/Drama film starred Matt Dillon.)

JOYCE: What do you wish you had more time for?

RUSS: Life!

JOYCE: On a rainy day, what is your preferred thing to do?

RUSS: Depending on the mood, lollygagging around the house or sitting in a café, watching outside through the window.

JOYCE: What is your favorite holiday and why?

RUSS: I’m not a big holiday guy. When working, I worked most holidays for the extra pay.

Otherwise, (I like) every holiday which has a good get-together with family and friends.

JOYCE: If you could spend an hour or two with a famous person, from the past or present, who would it be? Why did you choose this person?

RUSS: Jackson Pollock, the painter. His paintings are unique and I would love to see the process.

JOYCE: Tell us one of your simple pleasures.

RUSS: People watching in any form.

JOYCE: Is there anything else you’d like us to know about you?

RUSS: To strive for peace of mind is a worthwhile exercise.

THANK YOU, RUSS, FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LET ROYAL OAKS RESIDENTS GET TO KNOW YOU BETTER! IT IS MUCH APPRECIATED!

June Sudoku How to solve sudoku puzzles No math is required to solve a sudoku. You only need logic and patience.

Simply make sure that each 3x3 square region has only one instance of the numbers 1-9.

Similarly, each number can only

appear once in a column or row in the larger grid. The difficulty on this puzzle is easy.

The Lighter Side

Life's little truths

Age is a high price to pay for maturity.

If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you have never tried before.

My idea of housework: Sweep the room with a glance.

Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.

If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.

Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.

No husband has ever been shot while doing the dishes.

Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.

Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

Experience is wonderful. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it.

By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.

Thou shall not weigh more than thy refrigerator.
