Getting them to stop and pose has been challenging-but MMB has us under penalty of death if we fail; so we persevere. Tennis might be the next big thing: Kate is taking a lesson today, and wants to challenge us immediately following. Andrew and I have brought back Around the World- a game we played st Stinson years ago.

Two funny kids moments from yesterday: Kate reviewed the difference between forehand and backhand- and then only moments later, smashed a forehand winner to bring her brother one step closer to elimination. And second, when we played "telephone" but in foreign languages- and F went with "when we used the Blitzkreig we conquered Poland." This killed Andrew. 

("We ?!") 

Another weird Ocean Club moment: M and I were walking to the rooms, and I said: tell Andrew I will meet him at the court. And we hear this voice from the balcony above-an attractive man with a Southern accent waves us over and says: "I'm so sorry, but I thought I heard you were going to play a quick nine holes, and i would sure like to get in on that...you see mother is asleep at the moment, so I thought I could sneak away. "

Mother...maybe wife? maybe his mother? either way, why is he trapped on his balcony while she sleeps? is he trapped? is golf forbidden? the questions are endless....I hated to tell him a. we meant tennis, and b when he looked excited about that too, that he was not invited. I mean, how do we even know he can play? And besides he shouldn't have married her if she is such a downer...as Margaret says -she and I can't save the world.
