BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

Mine sight for sore eyes


Lost amidst the World Cup craziness, I followed rather quietly what was playing out in Wimbledon. Seeing old favorites crash out early on, there was still one to watch (although she did bow out in the semis). Tsvetana Pironkova, that new Bulgarian tennis sensation. I thought she'd make it to the finals but Vera Zvonareva came back after being a set down 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. It's okay. There's the US Open to look forward to.
