Tennis Anyone?

Oh can I tell you, can I just TELL you that I got to stand no less than ten feet away from Andre Agassi tonight? Can you believe that? I could have taken a few steps and tapped him on the shoulder or something.....but you know, he was playing tennis and I was all gawking at him from behind a curtain (I was supposed to be leaving but I wanted to steal one more glance and I'm glad I did because it was the best one of the night).

We had good seats, we could see everything, every seat in the whole place was a good seat, there were no bad seats. But still, when I got to see him from the floor, peeking behind that curtain at him, WOW! Ok, so I'm a little enamored with him. I think I've idolized him for a long time and so to get to SEE him, like for real, in person, that was a kick to me. It's not that he's so handsome (he's ok, cute, ok) but it's just that it's him. He has done so much for tennis and he's such an exciting player to watch and you just find yourself rooting for him every single time. He has this draw to him. Of course, the matches tonight were just Expo type matches, not competitive but still, everyone was rooting for Andre. It was all in fun and all the money either went to the Massey Cancer Research Center or EVMS; both good causes.

I'm just so thrilled I got to see him that close. From the stands, watching him play, cool. From down on the floor, like 12 steps away, AWESOME.

Poor Oldest, he'll likely be willed by me to love this game. I won't live through him, I'll just encourage. ahem. clearing my throat here. He can do what he wants. And he'll be as good as he'll be and that'll be perfect to me. See? It's all good. Of course he and the Littlest could always be tennis brothers like James and Thomas Blake OR Bob and Mike Bryan...ok, wishful thinking. All done now. Really.
