If blogging were an Olympic swim meet - which it isn't - then Gram would be ahead of the green line. I've been off the pace and here's why:

Friday night Ryan from the 'hood invited me to go check out the Iron Pigs with him. We saw pretty good pitching and hitting. Defense, not so much. But, we talked cameras and summer and enjoyed the Pig power on a great night. At home, Bill and Sharon arrived from Michigan after a long day of motorcycling through the rain.

Saturday morning I got up early and turned 22 miles through the valley before breakfast, then had to step out of my shoe and take it off the bike with my hands due to my sore ankle. After some brunch and some hanging out we set off for MusikFest in Bethlehem. We saw the whole festival and some tunes, ate some food, checked out crafts, and then were mesmerized by Strange Fruit, the acrobateers from down under who sway above your head on poles. This is my favorite art form of all time. It just is. If you've seen it I bet you agree.

Sunday was more relaxed, in no small part due to the weather. Despite rainy conditions we took in a Moravian Tile & Pottery factory and the artists' colony of New Hope. We enjoyed both but were happy to be home for pesto and a nice evening.
