Do professional athletes belong to Olympics?

Serena and Venus @ Rio. Venus is looking pretty. I love to see them but not at Olympics: I strongly feel, the professional athletes shouldn’t participate, give the opportunity to armatures, let them shine every four years. It’s a difficult line to drew because, the best go to Olympics. And there are minor leaguers who get paid …

The center court looks thin an cheap. The color of the court feels stall and old.

Serena和维纳斯@ 里约热内卢。我喜欢看到他们,但不是在奥运会上:我觉得 – 挺强烈地,职业运动员不该参加,因为看他们的机会太多了 – 一年四季,打开电视就可以。给业余的运动员一个机会,让他们每四年闪耀一次。但是 … 最好的去奥运会 … 俺没有什么好主意.

The Murray brothers

Jamie looks like his mom more than Andy does. I’ve seen him playing doubles at US Open a few times. His mother was never around to watch. The brothers lost in staight sets – all in tiebreak.

A leg cramp

A hot summer morning, 82 degrees at 7am. The sun sets pretty low, which makes it harder to see, even for us with backs to the sun. 6-3 and 6-3 and 2-0 and as I was chasing down a ball, I felt my left leg, beneath the knee was pulled. Not a sharp pain but I gave up after a few more points.

A red spider, egg and a goose

It’s first time to see a spider takes down his or her own web. The deconstruction comes so quickly I didn’t even have time to record. This video shows him crawling.

A little duckie has found a new hanging out place, to the owner’s annoyance. Perhaps his parents isn’t too disciplined. Not sure s/he is part of this big family. … AND someone laid an egg!

What a morning, and I lost 6-3 n 6-3: woke up at 5:30 and decided to take a walk to town. It’s about 2 miles. Advice: don’t do it before a tennis match.

Serena’s double happiness 双喜临门 @ Wimbledon

Williams’ 22nd grand slam win. It’s a great match too. Congratulations!

Soon after she went out to play the doubles with her sis Venus and won too.

I’m a winner too: during the Wimbledon, I finished digitizing a 13-vol family tree. It’s really a backbreaking job, done with food and pleasure. Home made cookies and the best cheese cake in New York!

Semi final at Wimbledon, Serena won 6-2 and 6-0, wonderful. Then ESPN showed this picture, for a moment, I thought it’s KK … Yes I made some dumplings to go with the tennis – also wonderful.

Tsonga lost to Murray in 5 sets

At Wimbledon, heart breaking! A little cardinal (?) red bird came to cheer!

Feeling guilty

Sam Q looks more like a plumber than a pro tennis player but I like him and root for him the same. He took out Joker – yes you go Sam boy!

昨晚下大雨 把球场洗的干干净净 🎾 2:2 赢2 局 输二局. 良心:一个哥们儿开玩笑说 俺不可以打高球 因为俺总是占便宜 在背光的一边. 说真心话,每次挑高球时 心里是挺内疚的 – 他们照顾老太婆/最弱的一个.

“Hit the player”

I’ve less tolerance toward ungentlemanly conduct as I age. Especially when the aggressor is a far better player. Doesn’t the better player have shame at all?
