Rhonda's morning class. Jan told a convoluted story about when her father met Eddy Mercx in 1988, and told Eddy about his daughter the bike racer. He and Eddy struck up a bit of a conversation and Eddy ended up giving him an autographed picture. Jan was at a big bike show last week and Eddy was a speaker there. She brought the picture and chatted Eddy up about the incident, and about the daughter who went on to become a world champion. Eddy was polite enough to act like he remembered her dad.

My friend Shirley came over for a tour of my charcoal platforms this afternoon. She is an inveterate program leader and has gotten interested in charcoal lately. She was also interested in the frogs, the herons, witch hazel, and a number of other things that turned up along the way. It was raining pretty briskly, but that certainly didn't slow her down any, and I gave her the full tour. She was impressed that I had streamer tape on a number of the charcoal platforms and thought I had put it there for her. Well, no. It is just left over from some old o courses, and I took most of it down while we were walking.
