with a rallying cry of "Hartmans Unite!" laura and theo stormed the courts yesterday.
theo brought his spiritual advisor, Pastor Stacie. here they are, huddling on strategy:
the first task was to case the joint:
enter the tacticians, laura's on the left, and theo's on the right.
laura runs interference while theo trains his eye on the bench.
the melee was too swift to illegally record.
one "all rise," a few crucial questions, and a pronouncement or two later, the hartmans are united!
proclaiming "i'm not going to be the only one in this photo with a double chin!",
the judge summons theo to the front for photos.

flush with the thrill of victory, theo hosts after-party at his java club:
hartman the elder has a Theoccino
ground support anne has a greek coffee.
"we boil it three times for the greek trilogy," the nice lady says:
team hartman poses with bell from bethlehem given by team chaplain Pastor Stacie:
ground support and theo celebrate further by buying 8 new cloth diapers in davenport!
but that, hartman fans, is a tale for another day.
gooooooo hartmans!
Anne is not only ground support, but, clearly, also sports reporter and head cheerleader! :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, the judge really did say that.
ReplyDeleteSo did the barista (though we think she meant "trinity").
No, no, she was talking about the Oresteia, clearly. Drink enough Greek coffee and you too will hear the Kindly Ones calling you.
