The Egg is moving from Manhattan to Chicago at the end of July, and today, even my supplies are feeling the occasion!

I love Wimbledon. I look forward to it every year. I consider it a legitimate response to the question,
“What are you doing July 4th weekend?”
But this?
No.

I spend most Fourth of July holidays occupied by a very British tradition —
The Championships, Wimbledon
In recent years there haven’t been any American tennis players, male or female, in contention for the major titles. This year’s champions are Serbian Novak Djokovic — yay! — and Czech Petra Kvitova.
But things may be changing in a few years.
The boys Wimbledon final was an all-American affair between qualifier Noah Rubin and six-seeded Stefan Kozlov. Rubin won in three sets and the two players, who are friends off-court, posed for this patriotic shot with their trophies:
Finally — some American fireworks in jolly ol’ England!

I found a Fourth of July dessert that I surprisingly haven’t made. And it’s so simple.
Strawberries.
Bananas.
Blueberries.
Skewers.
Beautiful and easy.
I really hope someone makes it for me.

Nothings says ‘Happy Fourth of July’ like a skull and crossbones.
(This is a kids tee in a NYC storefront.)
Whacky holidays!

LOVE
I have tennis on the brain this week. Or as Geoff Peterson would say —
Balls
I bought my tickets to the US Open yesterday — one of the best things about living in New York City — through the American Express advance purchase sale.
(Because membership has its privileges….)
And I am already looking forward to watching Wimbledon over the Fourth of July holidays right here at home.
I hear rumors on Facebook and Twitter that the NBA playoffs are going on somewhere, but seriously — how can people even think about ‘pro’ basketball — when there is so much tennis going on??
