Back from the pool.

All the controversy is driving this 500 like a rocket. Enough please!!!

And I’ll say this about the rackets that Ashe endorsed - all 3 models were stiff as boards and had such small sweet spots that I could never play with them. I’m amazed that he was able to win major titles with them…but then again, he was a world class athlete and probably could have played with a wooden board and still played well.

Edit: read up on Ashe and didn’t realize / forgot that he was also an Army vet. Discharged as a 2nd Lt.

Hahahahahaha!

No.

But, John was a much different person off-court. Just before the 1994 USA vs. Argentina Davis Cup tie held in Hawaii in 1994, I literally ran into John a couple days prior to the start of the event. I was in Kona for business and at the end of the day, had picked up my tickets and was browsing in the pro shop. John stepped in from the outside courts and just before he hit the door, I nervously asked him for his autograph. I was unprepared and fumbled for something to write on. He just waited patiently. I finally pulled out one of my business cards. He asked for my name and signed the back of it with "To Conan, Best wishes. John McEnroe. I shook his hand and we both went our merry ways.

I just heard you make a racist joke about Middle Eastern Muslims. So, you can go f*ck yourself.

Clowns to the left of you... Jokers to the right...

We all went to The Crystal Bay Casino last night. A great time was had by all, gambling, dinner, and a show. Today we are all going to the Viking castle, I forget it's name. We're also going kayaking.
