A few of us have been moaning about the weather here. We've been in an inversion--which means cloudy and it's been cold, damp, and generally unpleasant. Then, my stepdaughter living in North Pole, Alaska (yes, you read that right) told me it was 5 below there and the roads were like "K-Y jelly"--snow on top of freezing rain and the snow level up to her knees. Can I say that I'm thrilled NOT to be there!
It's also 9 degrees in my home town (Michigan) so I will be happy for our coolish, dampish weather for now. It could be alot worse.
I'm off to a friend's house tomorrow to watch the Australian Open Women's Final. It will broadcast here at 6 a.m. so we will be enjoying it on her big-screen tv and sipping freshly-brewed coffee. It's not unusual for me to root for the newby and/or underdog so I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat hoping that Li N manages to pull off an unexpected win. Sloan Stephens lost in her semi-final; was disappointed at that.
Tennis? I've enjoyed the sport forever. When I was growing up our house was on the same "block" ( really four city blocks) as Ferry School (elementary) and the tennis courts were visible from our kitchen window. I watched a lot of tennis and banged balls against the brick walls at the school. Back then, tennis was broadcast on regular network television and I watched as much as I possibly could. Probably drove my family nuts. But I still enjoy it. The game has changed immensely, players have come and gone, but the entertainment value is still there for me. Chris Evert had a cameo role on CSI this week. I remember idolizing her, of course. She was one of the greats.
Overslept today but still made it to the gym. Shrunk the day a bit, but
life goes on.
