Getting by with a little help from my friends, I am posting these 'snapshots' of a non-royal celebration this past Friday. While the big wedding was getting the big news that day, old friend Carolyn who now lives in Welwyn Garden City, just outside London,was at a local street party, which offered old-fashioned attractions--think tug of war, fancy hat competition, egg-and-spoon races, plant swap stall, etc.--for all. It all looks like good fun. If you click on the photo at top, you'll see the odd upside-down bottle attached to hat that won the competition. Gotta wonder why an upside-down bottle. Doug Glanville had an insightful piece yesterday about Roy Oswalt's going home this week to his tornado-ravaged town. But thoughtful pieces from Glanville are pretty the norm. Tracking how he has turned into such a fine writer, especially on my favorite sport, has been exciting.
