I am following the tennis intermittently this morning. Meaning, the TV is on, but I am not sitting on the couch watching it, but rather am doing other things in the apartment while sometimes stopping in its vicinity and observing whatever match happens to be airing. The Australian Open is the tournament that is underway. I watch both the men’s matches and the women’s matches, and there are players that I like on both sides of the tour. My family is from Australia, as I think I have mentioned. And in fact is from the city of Melbourne, which is where the Open is played. I like to see, when the camera pans out across the skyline, in between matches, or before and after a commercial, the areas of the city that I am familiar with, even if I haven’t lived there since I was a child.
