First, I would like to wish all the fathers out there a very Happy Father’s Day! Hope all is well on this special day and hope you all enjoy your parties.

Speaking of parties, have any of you partied so much that:

a) “your head felt like cement”

b) “”your arm felt like a bag of rice”

If so, please share with us your experiences.

Here are a few pictures from last weekend’s Meiklejohn table tennis tournament in Laguna Woods. Click here or click on the image below to view the gallery of images.

Rafa Nadal does it AGAIN! Not only does he win the French Open 4 times in a row, Rafa doesn’t drop a single set this tournament. Four times he’s stepped onto Court Philippe Chatrier, and four times he’s won it (the last 3 of those times against Federer). To top it all off, he completely dominates the match! Seemingly every time Federer served and volleyed, Nadal somehow gets to the ball and spins a sweet passing shot. I stopped counting after 10.

Rafa mentions in his interview with McEnroe right after the game, “I make less mistakes usually.” Is he kidding? He is too good. Federer mentioned in his interview that he could not let his head hang during the match, but he did exactly that after hitting so many shots into the net. So un-Federer-like on both accounts. I don’t remember ever seeing this much frustration on a face that is always so confident.

True to both their natures, Roger and Rafa were both very eloquent and gracious after the game. Rafa didn’t do his trademark fall-backwards-to-the-ground move when he won, but maybe that’s because he completely dominated with a score of 6-1, 6-3, 6-0! Bjorn Borg was on stage to hand the cup over to Nadal because Nadal has now tied Bjorg’s consecutive wins at the French Open. At Wimbledon, Bjorg was there last year to hand over the cup to Federer for matching his 5 consecutive wins there. Let’s see how far these 2 golden boys can take it!

Here’s me and Jojo, proudly representing our boy and his topspin with the flag (thank you Alex & Tolo) from Mallorca, Spain. We waved it like crazy as if we were there. And now we head to the courts ourselves to play some tennis, I hope we get a court!

The Meiklejohn Memorial North American Seniors Table Tennis Tournament took place this weekend, June 5-8, 2008, in Laguna Woods, CA. We spent our Saturday watching some great matches and getting some great shots of the sport we love so much…table tennis! Here is just one of many shots we got today. Keep checking back over the next few days as we will be posting a gallery of all the great shots.

Focus, you must, on the ball, young one! Notice the focus, the concentration, the preparation for the

SUPER CHOP!!!

This is our friend Mario, who we sometimes call Super Mario when he does his SUPER CHOP (as seen in photo). Mario is a regular at the South Bay Table Tennis Club in Chula Vista. Whenever we have a free Saturday, we head over there for a fun day of doubles, karaoke, and food.

We trekked up to Mira Mesa today to visit some friends and their dog of many faces, Laila. Jojo couldn’t get enough of her, she was so friendly! Then we went to Yogurt World!!! It’s still not as great as Yog-art in Hillcrest, but it’s frozen yogurt, and we love frozen yogurt. Seriously though, Yog-art is at the top of our frozen yogurt list, so try it if you’re ever in our part of town.

Here is just a small sample of the many faces of Laila.

Lucky me! I got to see the “Sex and the City” movie tonight at Horton Plaza! My friend Priscilla had 1 extra ticket, good lookin’ out yo! The movie was so good, it was everything I hoped it would be and so much more. I didn’t want it to end! So much happened in just 2 hours and twenty minutes, and the ending was perfect.

I won’t dare go into any details here, I wouldn’t want to ruin it for anyone. But if you are a “Sex and the City” fan, you will LOVE the movie. We also got to see some footage of the New York City Premiere and all the buzz on the red carpet. The paparazzi are crazy!

Now, the rest of you will have to wait until this Friday to see it. Be sure to let me know what you think of it here in the comments.

For those of you who haven’t already heard the news, my cousin Mark and his wife Joanne are moving to Hawaii! It’s been 2 years to this day that Mark and Joanne got hitched on Oahu. (Happy 2-year Anniversary guys!) Since then, they’ve been happily married and living in Hoboken, New Jersey - Joanne working in finance and Mark studying to become a perfusionist. Since his graduation last week, they’ve been frantically packing up all their belongings and their darling cat Rafi (see previous post). Lucky for us, they had a 1 week stopover here in San Diego to relax before starting the next chapter in their lives.

Oh, and did I forget to mention that Joanne is 4 and a half months pregnant? IT’S A GIRL!!! We had a great time just hanging around doing nothing this week. Here are a few pictures from this weekend.
