Sports

I have zero interest in hearing what Patrick McEnroe has to say about anything. And I love James Blake, but because of the endless talking I started growing angry about the way he was sitting.....because yes I can be that petty sometimes.

I just watched Andy Murray turn back the clock and beat #24 Carundolo in straight sets, so that was nice. It also made me appreciate how much the game has changed since his heyday--and that wasn't very long ago. Players now use such extreme Western grips now and strike the ball so differently than they did just a decade ago.....it's amazing.

Last thing: MSNBC did a report from the Open and they talked to the tournament director who talked about opening the sport further to greater diversity and economic situations and I literally did a spit take because yesterday I was trying to talk myself out of replacing my racquet and the newest model of the one I currently use, the Yonex ezone 98, sells for $279 *unstrung*. And then look at the cost of decent tennis shoes. Also outrageously expensive. The game is so out of reach now.
