I spotted this almost a year old Next Magazine (#969, Oct 02, 2008) last week. One of the the cover stories caught my eyes:
69岁钢琴大师刘诗昆婚变.
Liu Shikun was a youngster among Auntie Jennie’s colleagues. Indeed his first wife was the daughter of Ye Jianying 叶剑英, Ye Xiangzhen 叶向真.
The shocking value wasn’t he is divorcing his [...]

The celebratory dinner was at
Pine Court Chinese Bistro
249-32 Horace Harding Expy
Little Neck, NY 11362
(718) 279-1999
Lou is the food connoisseur if not the epicurean. Dishes at Pine Court are mostly decent. Service was slow that night (wasn’t crowded), and the lamb chop was too salty. The fish soup was great.
We almost had the Ocean Six reunion [...]

The war is playing out at Center Court in Wimbledon at the moment between 19 years old Sabine Lisicki, a German and choking artist and Number 1 Dinara Safina, 23 years old.
The German was serving for the set at 5:3.
But was unable, due to melt down.
Then she had the set point and missed an easy [...]

Sandy’s green thumb is formidable. I finally found few seconds to picture the beauties before they’re gone for the season.

The tryout at the USTA for the upcoming US Open was held on June 25, more than 400 showed up. It just reinforced my believe that people who run the tennis events are less capable. The event’s scheduled at 3pm:
The registration begins at 3 p.m. and tryouts start at 4 p.m. at the USTA [...]

I never wasted a minute to say that I don’t like Jelena Jankovic, here is one more why …
…
After losing, Jankovic was ungraciously moved to suggest that Oudin isn’t one of them. As I said, the women do not quite reach the model comportment level of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
Jankovic’s excuse was that she [...]

Many many years ago when the Williams sisters just began taking over the world, once during a mixed doubles match (a rarity!!), Chris Evert marveled at the power the sisters were dispensing.
“She’s over powering the men …” On both sides of the net.
Then she went on to say …
“During my time, we would just sit [...]

Allan St. John wrote in the current issue Maxim that back to 2004 when Murray, a Scot has won US Open boy’s title, British tennis officials decided to pay “the esteemed [Brad] Gilbert $1.5 million a year to coach him”, a future UK hopeful.
Interesting.
So far, he hasn’t won a slam (12 singles titles) but is [...]

Tari of Sun and Seas called, asking if I would take down this post: a potential customer (from a church, 5 families) balked at the comment made by carolyn r.

I just can’t resist to put this cartoon up, fm New Yorker (June 29, 2009 issue).
We the 3 big hand babes had a wonderful time yesterday. Wheat pasta salad, garlic peanuts, sweet/salty anchovies, shacha cucumber, spicy tofu, red wine, .. .. oh, I think we talked about books and writings too. Didn’t we?
In any event, [...]

It’s so cute and cool. Did any one see it on ESPN2? Pam Shriver, Mary Carillo and Mary Joe Fernandez covering Wimbledon, did this little sketch. Hope no one is going to rise a hell, citing political incorrectness.
American Mardy Fish, who’s seeded 28 just won his match; he’ll face the Joker, Novak Djokovic. Why doesn’t [...]
