US OPEN

Meadowland Park

Federer and Nadal

Hurricane Danny...

...it was a smaller one, so our week end wasn't a complete was out. It rained all Saturday morning, but in the afternoon the weather cleared up nicely so we went to US Open. Although the tournament will start on Monday, there are all kinds of activities, players in the qualifier rounds or the favorites practicing. Yesterday we got lucky and saw both Federer and Nadal. Federer exchanged a couple of balls with Haas on a practice court, but Nadal played on Louis Armstrong court, with Monaco an entire set, very strongly not at all like a practice session. We found seats right in the front row, next to Rafa and uncle Tony, who all the time was coaching him on how to improve his game. At the end of the game, Coni got an autograph from him.
I hope Nadal will win the tournament, but he still is not on top of his game....
Today, Sunday we intend to go to the beach in Coney Island....

PS: We went to the beach and had a good time, the weather was great, sun and not windy, but unfortunately because of dangerous rip currents entering in the water was ban.

Lincoln Center

I should rewrite yesterday's entry because it was a boring week end up to a point, in the afternoon at the last moment we decided to go and see a concert at Lincoln Center. It was a nice ending to a really great season of music and dancingas all part of summerstage in the City. Next Monday starts the US Open, sign that the fall is near...

Boring Sunday

Today we wanted to go to the beach. Unfortunately, hurricane Bill changed our plans, it's raining and the beaches are closed because of dangerous rip tides. We have things to do around the house but it's boring, boring, boring....

Happy Anniversary

August 21, I and Coni celebrated 33 years of marriage. I can't believe it but this is another story... Corina and Kevin surprised us with dinner and a Broadway show. We went to Tony's, a restaurant in Times Square and afterwards we went to "Jersey Boys" the play that I always wanted to see. We decided that our anniversary song to be "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", by Frankie Valli. It was a grate day, thank you Corina and Kevin!!!
