Day 931: Naughty kitty

It rained all day, except for the hour from 5 to 6 when I swam.  100 lengths in a brisk wind, cool water and cooler air.  The breeze kept blowing the solar cover over me.   All the flowers and the new grass needed the rain.  117 bloomed today!  We did inside jobs and I vacuumed most of the house: floors, ceilings, log walls, window sills, lampshades.  So much for taking it easy today.

We saw Million Dollar Arm at the Opera House tonight and encountered our former student, Lindsay F., who is a professional dancer.   She said she ran into Colin one day in Brooklyn in a coffee shop!  The movie was touching.  I felt tremendous sympathy for the young Indian boys who won the competition and were brought to the US from tiny rural towns in India.  Everything in the US was so alien to them and they missed their families so much.  They actually got contracts with the Pittsburg Pirates after just 10 months of playing baseball.

Apparently, Paddy wanted a new nap location.  We were shocked to find him on the buffet and had to chase him away from the spot several times.
