I go to Wimbledon every year to take in some tennis. Greeting from Day 11, which will see
Andy Roddick and Roger Federer both in the semi-finals; I hope they'll be meeting in the finals. Best of luck, Andy! Serena is still in things, too. The part I llike the best: Martina Navratilova is playing in the Ladies' Doubles semis today with her partner Lisa Watson. This isn't the over 45 or even the over 35 Doubles, this is the "real" one. Martina's 47. Lisa is 30, which isn't young for tennis either. You go, girls! Show 'em what old fogeys can still do!
Usually at Wimbledon I'm still kind of high from a Lakers' championship. This year, they bets weren't even about who would win, but how many games the Lakers could do it in. But they got fucking sloppy again in too many goddamn games. I got this very kind (not!) condolence ecard from
John Rhys-Davies. Thanks a lot for thinking of me, John. We'll see what I send you when your favorite cricket or football team loses.
I see that there are more geezers here, coming out of the woodwork. Good deal! Greetings and the secret fogey handshake to
Bill Murray,
Al Pacino,
Liam Neeson,
John Travolta and
Samuel L. Jackson. Hot damn! Now, how about some mature ladies around here?
Fantasia, congratulations, doll, on your single hitting #1 it's first week. You keep on shakin what ya mamma gave ya!
