Wimbledon Just Won't Be The Same This Year
I guess I really can't complain, after last year being the "greatest match of all time" when Rafa beat Roger for the epic match title on grass. Still, it is a real heart break to see him ailing. He is such a joy to watch and will be sorely missed this year. Get Well Rafa

Finally, a new post of random thoughts...
Okay, so I've been really neglecting this blog for forever, so thought I'd jot down a few things that have been bouncing around in my head.
1. When the "regular flu" kills thousands each year, why oh why all this fuss about the swine flu. And I hate how our media latches on like a rottweiler on a childs arm to a story and that's all that's on the news ad nauseum for days on end. Surely there are other things happening around the country and world than the flu.
2. Without warning my 25 yr old son has a sudden urge and desire to play the piano that sits mostly dormant for months at a time. The 2+ hours a day he's been practicing is pretty f*cking amazing. And he has taken immediately to reading music.
Looks like quitting his job has sparked a creative streak that he's been ignoring for ages. Which leads me to:
3. When you lose your sense of smell, do your other senses become heightened as they say happens to the blind?
4. My new job at the bank is working out very well, funny how well I've taken to a rigid schedule. And I'm hoping that the novelty of having my own office never wears off.
5. When friends have a husband, new boyfriend, job and two kids you tend to be so far down on their list as to be non-existent.
6. Had a very fine bottle of Argentine Malbec, El Tango. I think I'll get another bottle at the local wine specialty store sometime soon.
7. Paying down $2k on my mortgage seems like a better investment than leaving it in the loser 401k, so I'm doing it.
8. Suprised how I'm loving the new Decemberist "hazards of love" I was so determined to not like them, ever, at all, but now that I have tix to the Wilma in 3 weeks, figured I'd revisit that mentality. So yeah, the show should actually be pretty fun.
9. Trivia may actually start being more fun with the arrival of a "drop out", we'll see.
10. Netflixed The Queen w/Helen Mirren and my pal Jamee Cromwell, it was very good. And been watching Rescue Me, why is Denis Leary so sexy? Starting on season 3 this week.
