After 2,000 posts, new blog format announced

   Since launching my website in June 2011, I have accumulated 2,000 posts while working full-time in Sacramento.
   Upon reflection, I have decided to alter the format.
   I will continue to cover professional, college and junior tournaments in Northern California (plus the first week of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells in March) and write occasional news and feature stories.
   However, I will no longer post other tournament stories, weekly rankings or TV schedules. This will give me some time to work on a football book that I have been eager to write.
   My next blog post will be a profile of Sacramento's Priya Nelson this month. Nelson recently won the Easter Bowl girls 12 singles title in Indian Wells.
   Here's my tournament coverage schedule for the rest of the year:
   May 6-7 -- Late rounds of Rio Del Oro Junior Championships, Rio Del Oro Racquet Club, Sacramento.
   June 17-19 -- Late rounds of NorCal Boys 18 &16 Junior Sectional Championships, Natomas Racquet Club, Sacramento.
