new stuff

we got a new hammock while we were in peru. there is nothing particularly peruvian about hammocks, but it seemed like too good of an item to pass up. we sunk a couple of posts into the ground on either end of our back deck, secured them to the deck, poured a little concrete, and voila, we had ourselves an ideal spot for late afternoon r&r (marta also got a new hat at a garage sale around the block).



for david's 29th birthday his lovely wife marta got him, among other things, a fantastic new badminton set. we took it down to seabright beach to give it a test run, and as billed, it is fantastic. we were like a regular aparna popat and jack purcell out there today and would love to take anyone on who might make it out to santa cruz.

I like the hammock and the new hat. They go well together. And, David's badminton form looks good. Aparma Popat (?), does she have a line of sport shoes too? Dad

Once you caught on to that concrete you're dangerous. Everything in your yard will be permanent. MOM

Have you tried to play beerminton yet?

what are the rules for beerminton? we're trying to adapt badminton for play in a small, irregularly shaped, backyard. beerminton might just be a key step in the adaptation process.
