Today is our last full day in New York. It’s been a good trip. I saw two good plays, “Curtains” and “The Year of Magical Thinking”, went jogging in Central Park, visited the Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum and saw some great tennis yesterday. The jogging was cool, though my knee started to hurt A LOT after about three miles, so I didn’t really run all that much in Central Park. Plus, it then hurt for the rest of Sunday, which wasn’t cool for all the walking around that I wanted to do. But, with downing copious amounts of ibuprofen and icing it when possible, I made it through the day.

The weather has been FANTASTIC, especially yesterday at the US Open. I think that’s payback for last year’s terrible weather. The tennis was pretty good. I saw some really bad players, but saw one terrific match as well. I think I have a new favorite player, Alize Cornet of France. According to the expert tennis people I’m with, this is her first US Open. But she did great and afterwards hung out and took pictures with the fans, not that I was one of them because I’m not taking my camera anywhere, as the battery seems to always be dying. Anyway, I kept looking for the player with the crazy fans, but didn’t find any yesterday. Today, I’m a little more optimistic because one of the guys I saw last year (Xavier Malisse) is playing and his fans were nuts.
