uh oh…more tennis. i guess this means we’ll see you sometime next month? isn’t there ever a damn “down” season in tennis. it seems as though they’re playing the blasted sport nonstop! :)
yes the season for tennis is a little different, focusing around the four ‘grand slams’ each about two weeks, starting with australia now, and wrapping with the us open in september… i am planning to not watch the early rounds to save myself from perma-melding into my couch, though i do need to check out lance in cycling as well…
