The Outsider: A Memoir (39 page)

Here I am leading the James Scott Connors Philharmonic Orchestra after coming back from 2-5 in the final set to beat Aaron Krickstein. Not bad for a 39-year-old geezer.

The French Open wasn’t my favorite tournament, especially after they banned me, but I loved hanging out with my little redhead, Aubree.

I’m still not sure how Brett grew to be so big but I’m glad he did, because no one messed with me when he was around.

Aubree takes after her mother— beautiful, elegant, and still willing to laugh at my jokes.

It took Mom years to drop her guard with Patti, but they became close toward the end of Mom’s life.

Mac, me, and Borg. Sorry if I turned you guys gray.
