The fourth day at the US Open tennis 2021<\/a>. After a heavy rain the previous day and night from tropical storm Ida<\/a> (\u6328\u6253 … can’t help it every time I hear this name) when many have died, the weather couldn’t be any better.<\/p>\n

I bought a cheap seat for $32.25 online (section 316, row X): $25 for the ticket, plus $5 per ticket service fee and $2.95 order processing fee charged by TicketMaster. I took the LIRR ($9.25 each way! Gosh they should do better) instead of driving, and stopped by Flushing to pick up some dinner, for my Paris gang as well.
\nUnbeknown to me, my dad is a USTA celebrity now – here is his 28 seconds fame video<\/a>. Even before he sat down, two young bubbly women behind me said, “I know you! I saw your video …”<\/p>\n
