Howdy howdy from Dubai. They don’t exactly know what I am saying here when I say howdy…ha haSo I walk into Doug and John’s room here in Dubai on the first morning we get here, and see John watching camel races on tv……
Dubai is pretty amazing. I guess that 20 percent of the building cranes in the world are currently in Dubai! I was skeptical of that stat before I got here, but I am a believer now…. the whole city is under huge construction… it’s gonna be amazing to see what it’s like here in 10 years.
We are staying at the only 7 star hotel in the world here… they made an exception for us, because at this lunch place you are only supposed to wear nice pants and a collared shirt… fortunately they let us pass with jeans… none of us even travels with nice pants.. oops
San Jose was fun…as you might have seen on the SAP diary vids, my buddy Dillon cruised with us that week… its always nice to have people from home join us for a bit… if you have not seen the diary vids yet, they are worth checking out … some funny parts
Some really exciting news … I am in the process of setting up an official Facebook page to better communicate with all of you!! It should be fun and I can even check in from airports and stuff from the road… We’ll let you know when it’s up, and I will try to check in a bunch more!!
The Democratic election has been a lot of fun to follow…. regardless of who one votes for it has been a blast to read about and follow… I am hoping the actual presidential election will be just as much fun!
So does everyone remember how I gave myself fine of the week last year in Memphis because I did my business in ladies bathroom at Ruth Chris steakhouse on accident and never realized it until a lady calmly walked past me and out the door as if me washing my hands there was just completely normal?
Ok so fast-forward to this year…. you all would be proud to know that I made it to the correct gender bathroom this time, but had a bit of an awkward experience. We went to Ruth Chris after my match against Mardy and there was some of the tennis crowd there from the tournament. I signed a couple of things before I sat down and it wasn’t a big deal….so I am on my way into the bathroom and an overzealous lady-fan who may (definitely) have had a couple of drinks sees me go in and decides to follow. So she sticks her head in the door and asks for an autograph while I am in the middle of it…. I told her I would see her in just a second when I was finished and she said okay and just stood there… it wasn’t until another dude walked in that she realized she had made things a tiny bit weird…. so she is still waiting when I am done and she takes a picture and asks if I will come say hi to her group of twelve friends that went to the match and are now having a birthday celebration dinner…. sensing that they might have been having a little more fun than the rest of the restaurant combined, I politely declined…. this is funny enough by itself I guess…. so when we are close to finishing our meal, another possibly intoxicated lady comes up to our table and asks me to sign her program….. she also then lets us in on the secret that the bathroom lady had forgotten to ask me about an autograph with the picture and thought it would be sufficient to just write my name down and tell her friends she got it…….wall!!!!!!!
