Herb's Home

He came in from London last night at about ten o'clock. BC and I were at the Lindbergh terminal to greet his jet-lagged oneness. The photo was taken at home some time later as he had a little snack. He says he has 400 photos of his trip to download.



It was another marginal day. No biking for me, because it was USTA mixed doubles match day at Wooddale. Jerry's 8.0 team managed to win two of the three matches, but, unfortunately, it was I on the losing end of a very close match: 6-4, 3-6 1-0 (11). That notation means that we made it to the third "set" ten-point tiebreaker, but lost 13-11. And we managed to waste two match points in the tiebreaker. It may take me until tomorrow toget over the bitter disappointment :-) Hardcore Barb and I again fell victim to a young guy's top spin returns and superior serves. This neverending story is sad, but also gives me an obstacle to overcome. It was an enjoyable match against two nice people and I am happy to have been able to take the court and crunch a forehand or two.

And as you, who read BC's blog, know, BC has a job starting very soon for the Nature Conservancy somewhere near Fargo.

Welcome home to UH. I google mapped BC's job and it is about 60 miles south of Fertile. It sounds like a busy summer for your Princess.

Hi Uncle Jim and Cousins,

I am very excited for Kelsey and jealous of my cousins for all thier traveling adventures. My furthest trip has been the double jj in Michigan.
I am also suppose to mention that TJ made it in the Grand Haven Tribune again for his wonderful portrayal of his Principal in their mock trial done in one the courtrooms in the county building.
My main reason for commenting is to let you know that I recieved a badmiton set for my birthday last year. My mom mentioned that you may be interested in playing a match or two with the kids and I. TJ said bring it on. I will bring the set with me when you visit. I am hoping that we may have some interested players this summer. Looking forward to seeing everyone.
