...little late. We went to the deli across the street for our usual breakfast and arrived at the site around noon. We promised our dad we'd make a brief appearance at the cardio tennis media rollout. There was a huge tent with lots of reporters and bands. We did a few sound bites, and then met our dad who briefed us before we did our usual two-minute dog and pony show-which consists of explaining how we practice, the workouts we use, etc. All of these are high energy drills set to music. It was basically showcasing tennis...
...Today we practiced with our pals Mahesh Bhupathi, from India and Martin Damm, from the Czech Republic. We had a good workout, winning the tiebreakers we played against this tough but friendly tandem. After the usual autographs and pictures we went up to the players lounge and had lunch with our coach and met up again with our dad, who we hadn't seen for a week.

Cooper admitted that he couldn't make perfect sense of some of his notes, didn't have infallible recall and didn't know all the legal ramifications of everything that happened. He actually seems to think that he can be a little like the rest of us and still...
...process, Stevenson has cast the usual artistic ideas about Fairweather adrift. While a 1994 retrospective installed the painter in the pantheon of Australian Modernism, "I actually believe this in a way undersells his achievements," says Stevenson, a graduate of Auckland's Elam School. "The story of his life seems somewhere between Gauguin and the hippy movement, and this aspect of his practice is also important and fascinating." Through his research, Stevenson began to see himself in Fairweather. The latter lived his last two decades as a virtual recluse on Queensland's Bribie Island, and the New Zealander, who moved...
