To mark the opening of the season for the downtown Farmers Market, the LHS Jazz Ensemble performed at Max Square, the market venue. At one juncture, Ivi and her friend/jazz band colleague, Marina, demonstrated some special dance moves. See more pics

As a follow-on to the previous Just Takes Practice post, friend John suggests this, a showing of the “15 best faces at the World Table Tennis Championships“.

Here are some nice time-lapse sequences done in New York, Quebec City, Chicago, Toronto and Montreal. Hit the >< icon to go full-screen for best effect.

Ping-pong down on the farm — when not bucking hay bales, chasing the livestock, weeding the soybeans, etc. — was one of our favorite (usually after dark) activities.  But, as Brother Dennis notes in this pass-along, we never quite mastered this move:

Here is a sample from a collection of NASA photos of Space Shuttle Endeavor, now about to make its final flight.

After it was all over, around 11pm, about twenty kids came to Maison 1005 to continue celebrations. Throwing the boys out at midnight, about six or seven of Ivi’s girl friends stayed on for the entire night, with the parental types finally retiring around 2:30am.

We heard reports that the Viola Project caused quite a stir, and was the most talked-about attire of the evening, most young women having opted for more conventional formal wear. In case you didn’t know, the Viola Project was an effort to design something fashionable from recycled materials, newspapers in this case.

Furthermore, as a couple, Ivi and Jordan presented a distinctive and unique presence as Jordan was wearing his authentic formal military garb (did you know that Jordan — a first-class musician and actor and a fellow member of Ivi’s LHS Jazz Ensemble — was recruited by the Oregon National Guard to play horns in the official Oregon National Guard Band and Orchestra and is being likewise pursued by university music departments in Portland and elsewhere?)

We understand that many photographs, including a school-retained professional, were taken during the event itself.  We look forward to sharing that with you when the time comes.
