I stop at Yang's nearly every Thursday night after mixed doubles at Woodbury Tennis Club with Jerry and the hardcore girls. Tonight was no different. Even with a rainy night, there were customers at Yang's and good food to be had. The tennis had been good. We played and split two good sets before quitting for the evening. All of us will be visiting Tucson in a few weeks for the USTA national 8.0 mixed doubles tourney and we're getting ready. It's not formal training, just playing a lot of tennis and trying to get better. We don't want to embarrass ourselves.
Earlier today I caught Unky Herb doing yoga in the living room. He took the week off from his labors and was hoping to get in some outdoor activities before winter closes in. Unluckily, it's been gray and rainy most of this week. Today was the worst, so Herb decided to get his exercise doing yoga to his P90X CD. He's been doing this exercise program for several weeks and seems to be thriving and getting in pretty good shape. This is one of his exercises.
If October were the Civil War, the Confederate states would be winning. There have been a lot more gray days than blue days. Today would have been a massacre.

It appears to me that the Confederate side probably had advance knowledge that early in the month General Meade would arrive at Taneytown Road entrance to Gettysburg virtually unaccompanied. They have apparently used this information to send a large number of troops over there to greet him. Without the general the forces of blue have probably lost that early battle and probably lose the Civil War.
Colonel von Nagel took this gray vs. blue thing one step further, didn't he? But then, he's apt to do that.
I see nothing wrong with posting food related stuff on your own blog -- no rules except for that 'no singing at the table' one, I believe. I had lunch at a culinary school once, and was chided for using a utensil from one dish to serve myself from another dish (which had no serving utensil). Cross Contamination! he yelled. Well, maybe not yelled. But 'cross contamination' was my first thought when I saw the noodles on your blog. :-)
It is raining hard here at the moment. We had almost 2 inches of precip overnight, and it will probably rain all day. The Gray Army is definitely winning here, as well. A pox on General Meade and his poor strategic planning.
The tennis wars seem to be going okay -- right on track to peak in Tucson, from the sounds of it.
It appears that General von Nagel has knowledge unavailable to the actual Confederate forces at the Battle of Gettysburg in a nefarious scheme to win a board game. Where are the time machines when you really need them? TT
