cul-de-sac a situation in which you cannot make any more progress
----------------------------------------------------------------
昨夜はエラーニvs土居戦を観戦して，寝ました。土居選手，腹筋を痛めていたようで，
お気の毒でした。なんだかんだで，結局，全仏オープンテニスの試合を見てしまいます。orz
１回戦屈指の好カード，ベルダスコvsズベレフ戦，ズベレフ選手負けてしまいました。
同じ山の錦織選手にとっては朗報ですわ。今日は，錦織選手の試合は観戦しないで，
寝ます。先程確認したら，テレビ東京はディレイ(録画)放送ですね。

Folklore and Fairy Tales: The Giant Turnip
５月号のカバーストーリーですわ。
“The Giant Turnip” or “The Enormous Turnip” is a children's fairy tale of
Russian origin. It is a progressive story, in which a grandfather plants a turnip,
which grows so large that he cannot pull it up himself. He asks the grandmother
for help, and they together still cannot pull it up. Successively more people are
recruited to help, until they finally pull the turnip up together.
The moral of this story is that of collaboration, and that if we all work together,
we can do anything. There is value in even the smallest and least among us.
