Master of the Universe

Unky Herb has a nickname at work that I'm going to introduce here ... partly for variety. The software that he works on has been named "the universe" because it's big and encompasses all the software that his employer supplies. Unky Herb fixes that software as part of his usual job, so the other software guys call him the "Master of the Universe." It's always nice to have a powerful sounding nickname. I'm going with it.

This morning, the Master of the Universe (MOTU) went out in the backyard and began photographing his pottery. He just finished an adult education pottery class and brought the pots home to distribute around the house or perhaps to friends and relatives. There was interesting light, so I took pictures of him taking pictures of pottery.

This is his largest pot - a multi-mouthed flower vase.

And this is the pot that I like the most and may beg for. It would be a good place to store M&M's.

Today Rich went back to Tucson, leaving a perfect day in Minnesota to return to the heat box of Tucson. But before he left we played some more doubles with the gang of geezers at Marie Park. We played a couple of sets and I took him to the airport - HHH, he was flying Southwest Air. As unlikely as it seems the indoor tennis season starts tomorrow night at Wooddale. I'll be inside at 6:30 hitting tennis balls in a windless environment. It should be easy and maybe a little more fun than bucking the elements.

The US Open was rained out again for the second day in a row.
