Hello again fellow explorers of the digital universe. I hope all is going well for you, although I seriously doubt it. Please don’t take me wrong, I don’t mean to be coy or offensive. You see, the nature of the material world is cyclical. Our lives are full of ups and downs. It’s inevitable!

If you find yourself in the middle of the ocean being pounded by waves, it won’t do you any good to fight them or try to stop them. You need to get out as quickly as possible, but in the mean time, try to flow with them.

So when life pounds us with its problems, we just need to ride them, smile, and hope for the best.

Tennis is a game of emergencies, just like life. And that’s what I like most about it.

Here is a picture of me at the Miami Open Tennis Tournament sponsored by Itau. I bet I can beat anybody with this racket 🙂

Here is my daughter Stephie with her friend Danny:

Here I am with my tennis buddy Sam after a very windy match and a large breakfast – judging by size of my protruding belly. Although they do say that pictures make you look fatter. Wow, I feel better already 🙂

Here are some of my other tennis buddies after a strenuous doubles tournament:

And last but not least a picture of me with one of the greatest women to hit the courts in the history of the sport:

Can you guess who it is? Please comment…
