La Francaise Open

In true Grand Slam fashion, our office hosted a little petit-dejeuner yesterday to watch the Federer-Djokovic semi-final match a repeat of the Australian Open final this year because women's tennis takes a blink of an eye to be over. Anywho, it's no secret: j'aime all things francaise. So I had to be the ring leader in gathering mes amis to indulge in French crepes & croissants along with fierce competition. And let's not forget fashioning our berets and scarves de Paris.

Due to the time difference between SF & Paris, catching the action hasn't been the easiest task to accomplish. I'm barely able to hit the gym at 6am so rising at 2am for le tennis isn't so high on the priority list. As for TiVo, someone please explain the point to me in watching post match when I already know the outcome coutresy of Yahoo News...even when I am dodging sports knowledge.

Nonetheless, I have good vibes about this years French Open. First, two of the female semi-finalists are playing at our tournament, the Bank of the West Classic. This means good press for us! Paired with the fact that the #1, #2, #3, & #4 ranked male players in the world are all in the semis, tennis is HOT right now. Even better that I will actually get to see R. Fed (not to be confused with K. Fed) take on that clown Novak. Let's see how far your little player impressions get you today pal. **picture my tone being that of Focker from Meet the Parents when he is talking to Jinxy the cat.

It's match time...cheers to my favorite sport!
