Like the FIBA tournament in Berlin. It might sound like heresy to some, but I was rooting for the French team. They are less arrogant than the US team and seemed to play better together (at least for the first half). Plus, I don’t think any country needs to be so obvious about expecting to dominate. But then, also, two members of the French team are Valkryries and one now on the Portland Fire team. In many ways, this was more an WNBA mix up game than anything else.
Higher on my list? Mermaid #2 – Belize – is essentially finished
This is the second of four Caribbean Mermaids by Nora Corbett. I think it is about 5175 +/- stitches in just the mermaid not counting beads/backstitch, The first of the series is already in EJ’s hands who has the back stitching complete and is started on the beading. This one will go out this week. I am not going to deal with the other two till I am back from Australia. There isn’t all that much backstitching – oh wait, arms, hands, face – but there is a ton of beads between the “seaweed” and her hair. All the hair….
