    Texas has now literally targeted every aspect of the care I provide through my clinic lmao

    It's almost like the state is telling this dyke to gtfo

    When the government of a state tells you exactly who they are and exactly how difficult they are willing to make your life believe them. I hope you are able to relocate to a state where who you are and what you do for a living are both fully respected.

    I have been four times: 

    2010- first week day grounds pass

    2013- first week Arthur Ashe night ticket

    2016- second week Arthur Ashe night ticket (Quarterfinal: Del Potro v Wawrinka)

    2022- opening night Arthur Ashe (Serena then Nick Kyrgios)

    That’s some cool memories right there that you have made. I definitely need to be back next year. I would love to go again this time, but those prices are getting up there.

  3. Well I just went up and right before the store closed I got the bag and a water bottle for my brother. I didn’t like the hats and shirts. I should have picked out a hat for my brother when I was downstairs where they had some really good ones. He’ll like the water bottle.

    What swag did you buy?

    I got a hat ($34), that burlap beach/grocery bag ($20), and the rubber ducky with the red hat ($10) for my friend’s infant.*
     

    *They live in Spain 🇪🇸, but visited NYC in late June.

    Oh that’s cool man! I want to get my brother something since he still plays competitively in tournaments in Texas, but I think all the merchandise places will be closed once this ends. I just couldn’t get up to go look once both guys got dialed in.

  5. The distraction is coming from people randomly shouting Carlos. Cilic has been a pro about it. If this was Sabalenka she would probably have murdered a few fans by now.

  6. Cilic did an underhand serve. It did not go well and he lost the 3rd set shortly afterwards. 95 percent of the people left are here for Alcaraz. Watching him feed off the crowd with his youthful flair is pretty cool.

    Sinner held on, barely.

     

    I think he beats Alcaraz if he wins this match.

    Sinner seems to be a bit of a problem for Alcaraz. First things first though because Cilic played a brilliant 2nd set. 

  8. This is a really good book and I am thoroughly enjoying it. The author lays bare his own shortcomings in it while laying out the scientific evidence of how important humility is. I would highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys psychology.

    Watched it Friday evening after I got back from the beach. Seeing it in 3D was pretty cool. Such a great movie from start to finish and I am glad I decided to watch it again because that is a timeless movie that has aged exceptionally well. Roy Scheider actually has a small nameplate plaque on the wall where I work because he was a regular there many years ago.

    Also was at a high school state championship game at the Erwin Center when a kid threw in one from half court to win the game.  On his birthday.

    I was at that game sitting in the 4th row opposite the benches. When Kimball missed the free throw and made minimal effort to get the rebound was the first wild part. The 2nd part was the look I had of the shot was such that when he released it I said to myself “This is going in!” because he shot it perfectly. A friend that was always on me about the money I spent to sit so close to the court every year tells me the next day that “I’ll never say another word about what you paid to sit there!”
     

    I will also never see a moment of pure joy in an athletic contest like that ever again. If memory serves correct the grandmother of the center died before the playoffs started and he told his grandmother they would win a state title. That was a pretty bold declaration considering Jay finished 3rd in their district that year.
