Carolyn, Emily, Madeleine and I went to the St. Louis University basketball game yesterday against the University of Rhode Island. It was played at SLU's Chaifetz Arena, where son-in-law Brian is executive chef. He got us great seats.
The arena's policy is that you can bring a camera that will fit in the palm of your hand. My trusty 5D Mk 3 won't fit in my briefcase so these are iPhone shots, not bad considering. The home team is in white. Just don't ask about the final score.
Madeleine had a blast. She loved the noise, motion, color and, I think, most of all, the band. The kid clearly enjoys music. However, she really didn't know how to react to SLU's bizarre mascot, the Billiken. No one else does, either.
