On Monday I brought my car to the Glendale dealership to have a check engine light looked at. It turned out to be nothing important. I had to leave it there for a day and get a rental car. I ended up with a Buick Regal Custom (brand new). Yikes… I can’t imagine why anyone would actually buy one of those. I felt really unsafe driving home on the freeway, and the car only had 7,000 miles on it. <\/p>\n
On Wednesday Amy invited me to go with her to the Staples Center. She had two tickets to the private sections (skybox?) of the center. There was a lot of free food and an open bar. The event was the opening of the WTA championships. We had a good time, but left early because my car had to be left at Athena parking…not a safe place to leave a new car after the sun goes down.<\/p>\n
Tonight we went to another set of matches for the WTA. It was entertaining, but we didn’t have the great seats that we had Wednesday. We did however get to meet Wolfgang Puck and get an autographed copy of his new book….for free! We also got free Lindsay Davenport bobble heads, tote bags, and a free trip to San Francisco (minus airfare). Tomorrow attendees get a free racquet worth over $100.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow Amy is going to another three matches, but with her brother this time. I’m going to be watching the Purdue game and doing laundry instead.<\/p>\n
Sunday John and Katie are going to be here on layover from their honeymoon in New Zealand…I wonder where I’ll take them…<\/p>\n
Here are some other things of note… <\/p>\n
