Where did Friday morning go? Well I was busy in France, Roland Garros to be exact. It's a yearly thing. I invest an inordinate amount of time watching tennis. The French Open is a tournament on clay, chronologically the second of the four Grand Slam tennis events every year, held after the Australian Open and before Wimbledon and the US Open. I go to all four.

| Joao Fonseca |
This is an unusual year in that all the top players are out, Carlos Alcaraz is home in Spain, injured. All the top players have lost in the early rounds and this year's champ will be a newbie. Friday morning I spent 4 hours, 53 minutes sort of coaching 19 year old Joao Fonseca who defeated 39 year old Novak Djokovic in a tough 5-set match. One of the best matches I've ever watched, that's a lot of years & matches.

I am still working on my future app that will let me burn the calories of the activity that I watch. Stay tuned, I am going to make a mint! And for you tennis fans, Fonseca served three aces in a row to finish and win the fifth set. Unreal!
Just because ...

The last "cartoon" is profound. I live where high school students walk by during the week on their way to school. Part of this is to truly show me how old I am. But what really bothers me, is not only do they not see me (thank God!), but they don't see the butterflies, hear the birds, or look at or smell the flowers around them. More than 90% are looking down at their phones. I worry that they don't and won't understand our connectedness to nature. Have a lovely weekend, Jacki.
As for Carol also for me was the last smile the one which I agreed with immediately. Nature can heal us and it teaches us so many things I won't want to miss.
Have a fine Sunday, Jacki!
Thanks Carrol, and I do agree heartily. It's not just kids, but the majority of adult seem to fill in free moments with their phone. As you know, I probably spend more than my healthy allotment of time on line, but I still like to look around me and also read. A mixed blessing to be sure. Wishing you and Stan a stellar weekend and week ahead.

Thank you Elenor, yes, I believe it boils down to being about balance? Have a great weekend!
