It was just shy of being too hot to fence off the underside of my deck above the Slough. The cats had been hiding there, and creatures were bringing up things from the water which I didn't like seeing, plus the weeds were getting too lush. That chicken wire and black visquine plastic sheeting will take care of our problems!

In The Community: I'm facing a whole weekend at the Hockaday Museum of Art -- Jeff Wilson's show is coming down, and we're putting up some Ace Powell. There will be other changes in the office space, as well as the art.

Media Watch: At least there's Wimbledon on Network TV. When I first saw this tennis tournament in England I knew that the USA would like it, and it has. I was lucky enough to be watching when Arthur Ashe took the Men's Championship. It was a pity that his health failed and he died early -- Mr. Ashe was a brilliant athlete and a greater man.
