The GPS that is built in to our new car is possibly the most inept navigation system I've ever come across. Due to that fact (among many other things), it took us a long time to find the parking garage. We were a little late, but not a big deal. We watched Tommy Haas get annihilated, then ate lunch. During lunch, we saw a message on the jumbotron that Soderling was withdrawing due to an elbow injury. Well, there goes the second match. We spent more time driving around and arguing than we did at tennis. Luckily there is another day for redemption. I believe we are slated for both men's semifinals (which will be live, either on espn or espn2 at 1pm EST). Looking forward to it.

My wife and I are accompanying my sister-and-brother-in-law to the Legg Mason Tennis Classic in D.C. today. There is potential for many complications. My brother and Kris just got here last night, we have to stop by Springfield to drop Stephen off at his Nana's, and then there's the dogs' schedule to worry about. Not to mention my lactating wife being in a crowd of people all day. I'm not even going to try to bring my camera. My camera can be pinned as "professional" from a mile away. I do not yet own any zoom lenses, which is mostly what they are worried about at sporting events, but I do not want to even take a small risk of complicating things.
