This weekend there will be a free English Rakugo event at two location in Boston. Come experience traditional Japanese “sit down” comedy!

See English Rakugo Boston 2007 for details.

This weekend we went up to see the Fed Cup 2007 World Group Semifinals in the most unlikely of places: Stowe, Vermont.

Here’s a blurry shot of Venus Williams driving one back at Russia’s Nadia Petrova during the second game on Saturday.

Now, despite the fact that I took tennis lessons for almost an entire year in Junior High School, I have managed to survive into adulthood knowing absolutely nothing about the sport. (What is that whole “love” thing anyway?) These matches, I must admit, were pretty amazing to see up-close. Makes me wonder what I might be able to do if I too were, say, fit.

Potentially even more amazing than the witnessed feats of strength was the fact that the above stadium, such as it was, had been assembled just a few days before in a giant pasture; all in the middle of the mountains of Vermont.

I wonder how they evicted the cows.
