Winter and summer -- at the same time!

This is just a short posting to upload the photo of us at the Equator. (I didn't want to include it with the earlier posting, given the topic.)

 Joyce is in the southern hemisphere, where it's officially summer; I'm in the northern hemisphere, where it's winter.

That was yesterday. Today, we're both enjoying the wintry climes of Kampala: "Another beautiful day in Uganda."

Sports alert! Cricket is a cool sport. Seriously. We love it.

We took in a cricket match today -- a short one with only seven "overs," so it lasted only about an hour or so, with the score a relative blow-out of 77 to 36 for the garnet-and-gold team over the "blues." (Not sure of their real names).

We were cheering for the "blues" -- well, because garnet and gold are the colors of Florida State, one of the chief antagonists of my alma mater, The University of Florida. Go Gators! (Sorry you didn't make it to the NCAA men's basketball championship game).

There's always next year, for both the Florida Gators and the Kansas Jayhawks. Rock Chalk!

Now, we're getting ready to go out for some Indian food with the son of the owners of The Seventeen, where we're staying. And, because he was raised in Dallas, he likes college sports and the NFL -- but, sadly, he's a Dallas Cowboys fan (but, I guess, nobody's perfect).
