US Open 2008 - Better Late

I love tennis. I happen to suck royally as a player, but I am a damn good spectator. In fact, I come from a long line of dedicated fans (don't call the house when a final is on). I have been attending the US Open since I was a wee tike.

Summer Dreams, Ripped at the Seams...

...but Oh, Those Summer Nights.


I play slow pitch, high-arc softball in the Tri-Town (West Orange, Clifton and Bloomfield) Women's Recreation League with some amazing women. We didn't make the playoffs this year in a rough defeat, and I struck out at 2 at bats*, nevertheless, I had some great summer nights.

Thanks for a great time. ~ksp
