Have spent much of the past week and a half watching the US Open, using it to recharge hard during Labor Day weekend, though we also took a few hours out Sunday to replace the old vacuum cleaner. The new one does not need to use bags and is especially designed to deal with pet hair, but it's a bit fancy even in the nozzles, which will take some getting used to.
I'm afraid all the top women losing stopped being amusing sometime during the weekend, especially when Serena was going unchallenged enough as it is, though I suppose she probably would've rolled over the top women too given how well she's playing. The men are more entertaining, and that includes Andy Roddick and John McEnroe in the new Chase commercial, the best I've seen for that product. Right now Nole and Mandy are having lots of long points, and I don't know how much I'll stay up for because they'll be going too late for me to watch the whole thing, but I'm enjoying it so far...
