Pardon Me While I Skip Politics this Week – and Focus on the Australian Open

Thank goodness for T-E-N-N-I-S on TV – more specifically thank whatever stars there are for the first Major of the year…the Australian Open. I’m so happy for this distraction from weightier matters, including my own questionable New Year’s Resolutions that are rapidly slipping and sliding into the oblivion of past years. Hooray for the Australian Open in the beautiful city of Melbourne!

Angelique Kerber the defending champion 

Serena Williams – always a threat

newly engaged to be married

and chasing history for Open title # 23

I love Chris and Darren 

It’s like having old friends drop in to visit

at Casa de Canterbury

made it through Round One…

which made me even happier

Pretty and I still cling to the slim chance that Roger Federer or Rafa Nadal will make it to another trophy…but reality is that will not happen again for either so we are thrilled to see them playing in the early rounds.

Regardless, the Australian Open is a tradition at Casa de Canterbury much like the Golden Globes, Oscars and of course our current favorites: the women’s basketball team at the University of South Carolina – go Gamecocks tomorrow night – we will see you at Colonial Life Arena for either Kiki’s chicken and waffles or Cake Lady’s chicken salad…let’s hope our Gay Boys Basketball Buddies bring their appetites…it’s embarrassing to eat fried chicken wings in front of them.

Not.

P.S. Shout the Good News – Will and Grace are coming back for a new season 2017 – 2018!!
