Four 4 the Fourth!

1. Kind of surprised Serena beat Venus today. We always thought she was the better player, but Venus has always been mentally tougher in these matches. Also, the 11-10 overall advantage held by Serena feeds into conspiracy theories that the two sisters "take turns" beating each other.

2. Four clowns we have never heard of are now playing in the Men's Doubles Championship. We have no interest in watching. And it's downright creepy how, after every point, each pair touches hands. Um...no thanks, we're all set.

3. Even better than slapping the Mets around last night 7-2, was the fact that Phillies' setup man Ryan Madson came in and pitched a clean 8th inning. It has been well over a month since that last happened.

4. Congrats to The Playmaker for finishing 94th out of over 200 kids, ages 6-12, in this morning's July 4th Road Race. His finish was especially impressive when you consider he was stacked in the (way) back, and was one of the last 15-20 kids to cross the starting line. Having signed up three days ago, we did not show up for the race until 5 minutes prior to the start. Bad move, as we had to follow the crowd to the starting line. Not that we are competitive, but we'll be there 45 minutes early next year!

Have fun out there today and don't go crazy.
