We had a lovely dinner with our oldest and youngest last night. I love best these more spontaneous, casual get-togethers, and they are rare, because everyone is so busy. It was a balmy evening, and the next few days are supposed to be warm, which I love. I'm wearing a skirt and sandals, to celebrate. Today I have lunch with a friend, and maybe I'll see the new Wes Anderson film, "Moonrise Kingdom". His movies are always interesting. And I want to buy geraniums. It's just what the patio needs more of. I've been frying azaleas out there, and yesterday I kindly put them in shady pots in the front. So a few hearty geraniums should survive well during this season.
I'm disappointed I'll Have Another is scratched from the Belmont Stakes. I had a good feeling about him. No Triple Crown winner this year. And Cespedes is out with an injury as well. Oh, dear, these athletes, hooved or human, are struggling. Me, I try not to stumble on my own stairs, watch where I'm going, and not trip over any dogs in dark corners. That's as far as my athleticism extends. I'm a fan, but never was any good at being the activist. I like to walk best, and used to bike a bit, but sports were difficult for me. I let a softball hit my face while in the outfield, tennis was tricky because I'm left handed, swimming not so good because I only like to dog paddle, volleyball and basketball a joke because I'm 5' tall, and gymnastics - well, heights are not my thing. I could be decent in modern dance, and in college I played field hockey and golf. Briefly. After that, it was all running after toddlers. So I admire those with physical gifts, and also the courage it takes to be in a sport.
Oh, well, I'll have to see the movie "Secretariat" again, I guess. And hope the horse and the powerhouse heal quickly.
