Best sides?




We're back on-line:

We returned home from our Tuesday visit to Mother's place in Alexandria to find that our cable had been cut by the lawn people. No internet, no TV, no email, no blog. The cable company showed up this morning and ran a temporary line that will probably remain for six months, if our last experience is any guide. The finger-pointing has begun. Afterall, the cable was buried at least an inch deep and the lawn company aerates two. Onward!

We just booted up, and after the usual spam, we found this report from Steve in Tucson, along with a couple of photos. Beautiful shots, both of them, but curious in that they feature two fine backsides. For those unfamiliar with this view, that's Steve. above. and Leno, below.
Here's the note that came with the pix.

Stan:

The attached picures show Leno and me relaxing this afternoon with a little golf.

We had just finished a stressful come-from-behind-in-the-third-set doubles tennis match and been on the winning team for the annual Unit 16 eight-team bocce ball tournament.
(Yes, I know, the bocce ball win is a little unfair as Leno IS 100 percent Italian.)
I have been here eight days and as of yet have not seen a cloud in the sky. 80s every day with 5 to 10 mph winds except for one day when they got up to 15 mph. There have been strong winds to the east the last couple of days but the Catalina mountain range--seen in the attached pictures--including 9,000 foot Mt. Lemmon, have protected us from that wind. We just see the haze which just makes the sunsets against the mountiains that much more spectacular.
Meanwhile, I have managed to get caught up on my orders while here "on vacation."
Back to reality on Friday.
