TULIPS….Jeez, all the cool bloggers are getting an all-expenses vacation to Holland. Nothing for me, though, even though I love tulips. Sigh.

But in case the Australian tourist board is thinking of doing something similar, can I put my name in the hat for a vacation to next year’s Australian Open? You guys wouldn’t mind a week of tennis blogging next January, would you?
