Haircuts and Tomatoes

The Satuday morning tennis encounter was on again this morning. The Gang of Geezers showed up and hit tennis balls at each other and the net. We played two sets and then Tennis Dennis had to leave for granddaughter babysitting duties and we broke up. The two sets were 6-2, 6-0, so it was a little uneven, but there are maladies to account for the lopsided score. Curt and I hit ground strokes and generally rallied for another half hour before calling it a day.

Ms Kagami Sensei went to the haircutter this afternoon. She donated her long hair to cancer patients without locks, and came home looking like this. She has very curly tresses and a generous heart.


The cherry tomato outside my back door is beginning to bear fruit. This morning there were about 15 to pick and some green ones beginning to turn crimson. The full size tomatoes take a little longer, but some orange is starting to appear.


The French Bike Race is over tomorrow in Paris. The podium sitters have been chosen, although the final positioning may yet be shuffled. The Discovery Channel team has done very well. Again.

I told Nikki that Kelsey got her hair cut and donated her hair to children with cancer. Her first response was, 'she's bald?' TJ wanted to know if she was blonde. Sigh. I showed them the picture, and they are relieved. (She looks quite lovely, of course.) The kids are really excited for you to be coming. SS

BTW. We don't have brainy bagels here, you know. SS

No brainy bagels? How about dough-head donuts? No worries. TT

Maybe some of those. We will have blues, of course. And we know where the farm is. SS

Kelsey's haircut looks wonderful on her! What a brainy (NOT dough-headed) beauty! I am really looking forward to seeing the P-ster and going to Spamalot.

My middle east colleagues are returning to the middle east tomorrow morning and then I will have time to think about our trip to Michigan. I must decide upon the books to bring. It will be great to have both Kelsey and Adam (and of, course, Wireless) there.
