Great Seats...

The Foxtrot and I made it to the Open last night. What a difference a year makes. Last year's US Open was a private box with free booze and chow. This year the same company threw us a couple of nose bleed seats and said we were on our own for vittles. I'm not complaining. It's nice not having to talk to people in my business.

Another beautiful night with Fall like weather just like last year's Open. The tennis was fun. The crowd even more so. This is NYC after all.

If I were reading this blog for the first time I would wonder if this is the only pair of shoes this asshole owns. But I love them although... again... I'm not sure why. The tennis was fantastic although Williams and Federer made quick work of Stosur and Gonzalez. Still, what's not to like about a beautiful night with fall like weather and someone else picking up the tab in a luxury box with sushi and cold beer. Now that's Trad. What's not Trad is the marketing head at the Open turning tennis into something that resembles Arena Football. Very Bad. Very Bad indeed.
