News and notes from the U.S. Open

Impressive company

August
27

I’ve done my research. I’ve crunched the numbers, and it’s official:

The U.S. Open is the most impressive collection of good-looking people ever assembled at a sporting event (with a close second the late night pick-up hockey games I play during the winter).

This would obviously include the toned and tanned players; the coaches and assorted hangers-ons of the toned and tanned players (who  are naturally toned and tanned themselves); and the fans, many of whom are either rich and famous, or just as important, simply resemble people who are rich and famous.

The exception, of course, is the rumpled media, which has the disadvantage of not only standing in close proximity to so many good looking people this week, but of having access to multiple Ben and Jerry’s ice cream bars. Needless to say, that’s a tough combination.
