More Rocks

The English Sensei is doing her reservations for home trip from Ogaki. We iChatted this morning getting the arrangements set up and all looks good. That iChat tool is great. Good times ahead in August.

The scheduled tennis for today was wiped out by wind and rain, but by about eight o'clock tonight the weather was fine again and it was a beautiful evening. Biking failed to break out.

Minnesota Rocks number 11 is sited in Boyd Park on Selby and Farrington very near the Cathedral. This sculpture is called "Distant Memory" by Atsuo Okamoto, a Japanese sculptor. The juxtaposition of a Japanese guy with Boyd Park makes me think of Kagami Sensei in Dutch country.


Raphael Nadal beat Lleyton Hewitt today in Paris 6-3, 6-1, 7-6. I watched a lot of the match on ESPN2. He looks very tough and the only guy who seems to have a chance to beat him is Roger Federer. The draw is now into the quarter finals. Tomorrow's big match is Serena Williams against Justine Henin, the two-time defending champion.

There are puddles of water on that rock -- in Boyd Park? I didn't know there was one. It's a nice series of photos. Also good news that Kagami's plans are firming up.

John suggested I use the scanner, but it's not at this house. I used my digital camera. It has a Macro for extreme close ups. Not the portrait one -- it's called D, and the manual says you can take a picture of a page in a book with it. It worked pretty good, I thought.
