The Complaint Department is Open!
But today, I’m also in search of silver linings, if you happen to have any in sight. Mine? Wimbledon Week 2 is here! And that helps everything, even though I missed last week’s incredible 11-hour match with its extraordinary 70-68 fifth set!

It’s been a hectic week, but not too hectic for a quick shout out all the same. Here’s to five time French Open winner Rafael Nadal, who took the Grand Slam title earlier today in Paris, beating Sweden’s Robin Soderling, 6-4, 6-2, 6-4.
Saturday’s Women’s Final saw powerhouse Australian Samantha Stosur fall to underdog, Francesca Schiavone, [...]

Tennis views or tennis news?
Now come on. It’s hard not to notice a great player, an unusual outfit, and a little slip here or there. But the fact is, Venus Williams and the women at the French Open are [...]

Paris? Tennis? Irresistible combination?
OUI!
More irresistible than French men? Mmm. Tough one.
But we’re counting down. Just hours away now. And what could be better than Paris in the spring, and Grand Slam Tennis? The only thing I can think of is being there – rather than watching on television.
But watching I shall be, even if [...]

Super Bowl Sunday – an American institution?
So how did Super Bowl Sunday get to be such an institution? Are you planning your day around TV football pre-game shows, prepping in the kitchen with traditional family finger foods and a passel of neighbors stopping by for the evening?

Tennis, finally
It’s just after midnight in my part of the world, but I had to hang on to watch defending Australian Open tennis champion Serena Williams tough it out against China’s Li Na in two grueling sets.
Serena’s serves were a thing of beauty – 12 aces in this match. But it was the second set [...]

So what’s up with this Man Cave concept? Is it a place for men to hide out in their own homes? The millennial version of the 1960s paneled private club, or a place to escape before being sent to the proverbial Dog House thus avoiding a tiff with the Missus?
