Berimbau
People were playing berimbaus in the gym last night. I had never seen one before. This guy showed us how it works and carefully spelled it out for me as a typed it in to the cellphone message. He also was a beautiful singer. At least it sounded good with the berimbaus.[ Flickr knows about the berimbau ]
First doubles, Stanford vs Miami, 2006 NCAA team championship
Gloria and I watched most of the Stanford - Miami NCAA women's tennis championship yesterdaythen we had to leave to pick up the kids from school.From a San Jose Mercury News article about the match shown in the photo:
* * * *
Stanford's No. 1 doubles team of Alice Barnes and Anne Yelsey (ranked No. 1) rallied from a two-service-break deficit to beat Audra Cohen and Melissa Applebaum (ranked No. 2) 9-7.
"At 7-3, we just decided that we were going to go for it,'' Barnes said. "If you feel that you sat back and let them dictate and you lose 8-3, our attitude going into singles would have been so much worse.''
