Robby Ginepri kicks things off in the desert...

For the past 10 years or so, I've made an annual trip out to Indian Wells for the tennis tournament there which features many of the top men and women players in the world. I'm planning to make it out there within the next few days if this cold I feel coming does not get worse.

There is good incentive to get well: Robby Ginepri is playing! Robby, with the help of spectator Tammie Bandiest, participated in the main draw ceremony for the Pacific Life Open earlier today.

My one complaint: Robby's shirt has sleeves!
