Nature, giving me the what-for

Not something man can create
I love peaches. They are, to my taste, so perfect that they demonstrate the limits of our great abilities to create and alter and remake according to our whims.
No matter how hard we try, we can’t create such perfection. I think tomorrow I shall go in search of peach pie.

Elements of happiness
Posted by Adam Jadhav | Filed under united states
I had a good final weekend in the Midwest that centered on biking and friends and reading and peaches. As I packed up this morning to drive back to Champaign, I took the above photo of the last things to go into/on mom’s car.
And I smiled thinking how easy I am to please, with a good bike to ride and a juicy white peach to eat.
Now if only I could bring a bit of India into the mix…

Quiet comforts of home
Posted by Adam Jadhav | Filed under united states
Georgina and Tim, who put me up for a few nights on my trip through St. Louis, have a comfortable, warm and pleasant home. I promised to put this photo of their back porch — bright and peaceful, a good still-life — on my blog.
I do miss that old life from time to time. Thanks, guys, for the hospitality.

Monopolio!

Adam 2, Joel 0
When I stopped through St. Louis in June, Joel and I had a rematch of our previous Monopoly battle from August 2009 in Green Lake. A few people will recall that historic clash when I pantsed Joel good and he complained that I wouldn’t immediately defend my title again.
Well I beat him again this time ’round, though I admit I rolled like the dice were rigged.
I’ll defend the title next year perhaps. Right now, the series stands at 2-0, me.
I’ve been playing Monopoly a fair amount lately. There was a battered version of it in Spanish (hence the “Monopolio” blog title) and I’ve since downloaded a pocket version for my iPod.
And yes, Joel, I recognize that the game remains mostly luck. I was absolutely destroyed in a five-way exhibition last month in the jungle.

I could do with a peach

I miss...
It was a very spring-like day in Delhi. Makes me want to sit out on the back porch and cut up a fresh peach.

One of the last stories I wrote for the Post-Dispatch featured a homeless soccer team based in St. Louis. The team played in the Street Soccer USA Cup in Washington, D.C. last weekend.
