Sunday

A silverpoint drawing of a woman. Silverpoint is not good for this type of portrait. It needs darker darks and more contrast, and just can't get it with silverpoint. Charcoal would be good.
In the "horse corner" of my basement, I found this noseband. I haven't been able to find it for a long time. I (THINK) Tracy's Grandad made this for me from horsehair.

Am hardly able to keep up with the ball game and have quit scoring. Just can't concentrate - feel like a nap.


Whenever I hear the pitchers get to choose which uniform they wear, I chuckle. I get a vision of them in the locker room:


Hammel: So what uniform you guys want to wear today?

Helton: The black ones.

Fowler: Naw, man! Those make my butt look fat!

What a lovely piece of horsehair braiding. Of course Tracy's granddad made it - where else would you have gotten it? That's your story and you stick to it!
