Tribute to Grandpa


This is a tribute to my father-in-law, John R. Kellett, who died just 9 days short of his 95th birthday. He was very much alive till he died the morning of July 16 in his sleep. We shall miss him very much.

Here Nick is keeping the ball out of the goal (between the two orange standards), with his bike and his polo club (usually the shank of a golf club and some PVC piping).

Naomi really got into her games. Unfortunately, she and Nick (who were a team, as "Albert and Victoria") lost this one 5 to 4. But they had expected to love by more.

Bike Polo has rules. Despite appearances, it is NOT a rule that one must have a tatoo or piercing. But these were posted. I like the last one.

It was set up quite elaborately on four tennis courts in the park - woe to those who wanted to play tennis that day.

I very much enjoyed seeing Nick and Naomi play Bike Polo last Saturday. Takes a lot of skill and they're getting good at it.

Okay I have to post this picture from the NY Times (thanks). Their blog comment: Canada wins the gold medal in the crazy pants competition.

Old ball game

Eight of us in the office went to see a ball game Tuesday afternoon. It was my idea, and it was fun. The home team lost - it was quite a shame, giving up something like 20 hits and 16 runs - but we sang during the 7th inning stretch lustily...
