More Midweek Stuff

Congratulations to the Graber Brothers, Marvin and Norman, for winning the Team Tournament recently completed in the Tuesday Men's League. At the start of the tournament, they were at the bottom of the Team standings. Nice reversal of fortune.

Finished with the setting of the grounding rod for the new antenna. Took a false start, a step ladder and a half hour with a sledge hammer (with plenty of rests) to slam the fool thing into this hard ground around this house on the hill. Now we're ready for that lightning strike (and no I am not going to say "bring it on...").

Diane's in the living room watching The Last Waltz.

(from Netflix: On Thanksgiving Day 1976, more than 5,000 cheering fans gathered for the historic farewell concert of The Band, a Canadian country-soul-R&B group formed in 1960. Director Martin Scorsese was present at the big event and later edited the concert footage to create this documentary, interspersing band interviews with performances by legends such as Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan and Emmylou Harris.)

Listening is a more apt term. I'm enjoying from the dining area.

Jane Hamsher at Firedoglake writes a moving description of what it means to be partisan in the very positive sense of the word and takes to the woodshed the likes of Lieberman and Barack Obama for their blanket condemnations of the supposed 'partisanship' of the Democrats. The moving part is her description of going to the Holocaust Museum with the child of Holocaust survivors. Go read it; you'll be moved.

Tomorrow morning we have the Seniors out for match play. And (I was reminded by Tyler Walton) I'll post the results of the recent Community League Individual Handicapped Tournament completed with play this last Sunday.
