Next week poses a tough challenge against some good teams. I hope the weather is decent this weekend, so the girls can get in some needed court time to work on their ground strokes.

The team in general really stepped up this weekend to the challenge and opportunity of a big and great meet. We have a bunch of great kids in our program and we're really proud of all of them.

Clearly everyone was hurt by the weather and store traffic declined sharply. But retailers can hope to recover this weekend, and from the one extra shopping day this year.

We were in San Francisco for a long weekend. And we turned on the TV to check the weather — and there was our Spray 'n Wash commercial! It felt like we were at home.

We were expecting this to be a wet weekend, and the weather forecast is still bad so it's likely to be a tough weekend because we haven't done much wet testing this year. Spa is the best circuit in the world, and the most fun to drive, but the intensity of the rain can vary hugely so that can have a big impact on circuit conditions. Still, it will be the same for everyone. Last year I took pole in the wet here so we'll be hoping for a positive result.

I think we had good weather in May, except for the last weekend. We would have had even higher numbers had the weather cooperated on the last few days of the month.
