Things I Learned this Week

Among the things I learned this week:
* American lobsters threaten European lobsters, mainly by their larger claw which wins in fights and woos the lady lobsters. (Courtesy: William Mauldin/WSJ)

* Finally, I’m a good hitter–at least in the world of Whiffle-ball home-run derby. (Courtesy: Personal experience)

* The real tennis community is big and vocal enough to have a trending Twitter hashtag during the 2016 Real Tennis World Championship. (Courtesy: National Tennis Club and its HD stream)

* The first American staging/context of Wager’s Ring Cycle is excellent. (Courtesy: Personal experience)
