Missing French Open action

Last year Solar Sports decided against buying the rights to televise live coverage of the US Open. Now after checking their program schedule I have discovered that they're apparently going to do same for Roland Garros this year. Oh, what a bummer! ( There actually is another channel called Balls TV that will be showing the tournament. But Balls is only shown on Sky Cable, the cable tv provider exclusive to Manila.) It will be back to watching live scores online for me now I suppose.

Stored memories

I had to dig through my stuff here to look for my pitch pipe which I thought would be useful during the weekly music seminars I'm currently attending. While I didn't find what I was looking for--sigh, I wonder where it is!--I rediscovered a few things: old registration forms with signatures of my professors then who are now my colleagues at work; old punch cards from my first programming classes still stacked in their original order; and my old diaries which include a lengthy and detailed account of those three days more than twenty years ago when I competed at a national piano competition.
