Remains of the Day (12/01)














I ❤️ the UWS: Not terribly surprised to hear that my local Irish pub, the Emerald Inn, is closing up shop after 82 years. The bathroom is in the center of the joint and every time I've attempted to go there it reeked to high heaven. 










Weekend Tennis Roundup


Another journeyman comes out of the closet; babies for Musetti and Van Uytvanck/Vermeiren; Matteo on top; plus all the ATP beef that's fit to post BELOW.

World AIDS Day


I spent the past week with my niece and nephew and couldn't help but think of the hundreds and hundreds of posts I see on the AIDS Memorial written by young men and women who never even got to meet their gay uncles because of the HIV pandemic of my youth. I can't even put into words how fortunate I feel to have survived its darkest days -- and how happy I am to be a generation into HIV's being both a preventable and treatable disease. But never will I forget how much pain and loss there was, and how I wish my friends -- Walter, Mike and Mark, in particular -- had also lived to see this day.

Giving Thanks

 

Another family holiday in the books. These things are never easy -- travel logistics and personality conflicts, declining health and declining patience -- but I'm enormously thankful to be able to spend time with my mom et al. this week in Phoenix. xo

En route to the airport. Wish us luck in the Grand Canyon state!
