I didnt actually see the presser, but his mindset is intriguing to me.

Its rare that someone openly admits he doesnt love the sport he is playing - and he should be commended for coming out and saying that

what he shouldnt be commended for is how that manifests itself on the court - he lets himself down massively. Not through all the antics, Australians are willing to look past that somewhat (cf Hewitt) but when its clear you give up when it gets too hard, there is a problem.

He is still only 21 years old and I am probably willing to cut him more slack than others, but a high profile respected coach and a sports psychologist are clearly needed

I was embarrassed for him last night. Acted like a 5 year old who got told he can't have ice cream for desert.
Seems Tomic and Kyrios are both happy to punt around the circuit earning a few mil per year without worrying about winning majors or cracking top 5. Hard to argue with that though on that coin.

I rate the 7 week European holiday the Jases just got back from... Saw some amazing places and met dome brilliant people.

I also rate the Junior Jases and how they managed to spend the time lumped together and didn't get to frustrated with each other to bad. They are 12 and 13 so it could have been terrible.

Finally after being in transit for 25 hours and getting home yesterday evening at 7:00pm, seeing my dogs and then actually being able to sleep in my own bed.

What a great break...

Mine's 7 years younger than me, but she's still a great-grandmother to 3 kids under 4.
Slightly disconcerting, but she is bright and full of life and energy.
(She reminds me how much older I am if I mention it.)

The permit to the Council didn't cost anything but the driveway crossover(which is the part from the road to my house boundary) was $2200.
That included pulling up the old concrete and putting down new concrete.

Sounds reasonable. How long is the driveway?
