US Open - Day 3 - A Day in The Rain

I went to the US Open on Wednesday. I was looking forward to a long day of exciting tennis with players such as Li Na, Del Potro and Serena Williams on the schedule. It was so hot when we arrived that our main concern was how we were going to cope with the heat during a long day of sitting in the sun.

Remembering Childhood Passions

When was the last time you tried a favorite childhood activity that you’ve ignored since reaching adulthood?

Recently I went for a bike ride, something I had not done for many years despite it being my major form of transport in my early/mid teens when I used to cycle to school, to friends’ houses and to the beach. I don’t remember any conscious decision to stop cycling but I guess as college replaced school and socializing became geared towards evening entertainment in the city, cycling became less practical. As is the way in big families, the bicycle, which had been passed onto me from an older sibling, was then passed onto a younger sibling, and I never felt the need to buy a new one.

A Day On The Water

After our strenuous exertion on land on our first day in Maine, it seemed fitting to spend the second day on water.
