Not ready to say goodbye
I was out last night for a birthday party at a restaurant-cum-club in Union Square (Happy 25th, Brandon), but the real focus was on Agassi's legendary, epic battle against some orange-shirt-clad unknown with a curly pony tail. I don't usually get into sports, but this match was one of the most memorable ever. I got so excited that at one point I knocked a drink out of the hand of a friend returning from the bar. Simon Barnes writes of Agassi in the Times:
He stands for a principle seldom accepted by anyone in any walk of life: that you can be one kind of person and then, if you have the ability, if you have the desire, you can be another kind of person entirely. A wild and adventurous woman can settle down to domestic bliss; an unreconstructed lad can find a taste for responsibility and order; a waster can become a person of substance; a loser can become a winner.
