Hunter's Moon

For a day that started out at 33 degrees, it didn't turn out half bad. It reached 54 degrees in the early afternoon. By sundown I was driving in rush hour traffic on US 94 on the way to the Oakdale Lifetime Fitness Club for a USTA match. The drive into the sun wasn't too bad, but the traffic was thick, partly, I think, because of the loss of the 35W bridge in August. I found the club and played some reasonably good tennis against a couple of good players. It was mixed doubles and Marsha was my partner. We were competitive but lost 6-4, 6-2. It was just tennis.

This is Herb before he left to go to work this morning. As you can see, he dresses like a computer professional, which, in fact, he is.


It was a full moon overnight. It's the one called the Hunter's Moon, because the moon is so big and bright. This time of year is when the moon is at its closest and is considerably larger than usual and brighter in the sky for that reason.

The Sox beat the Rox 2-1 and now lead the World Serious 2 games to none.
