Gotta get myself in gear. The kitchen
is a disaster - had to make dinner for
the Lodge brothers, and I was too
tired to clean up last night. Made
shrimp creole, rice, green beans,
salad, garlic toast for 30. Only a
smidgen of anything left.
Afternoon peeps! Worked this morning and it seems to drag into 24 hours. lol Hate when I'm not busy enough to make the day fly. Didn't sleep well either; only got about two hours. I thought I might nap but . . . TENNIS! I can't believe Fed is knocked out. Kudos to Anderson for a great match! It might be time for him to call it a day and hang up the racket. Nice to see Rafa still fighting through it. Should be interesting to see who he's matched up with for the final.
A flock of flirting flamingos is pure, passionate, pink pandemonium-a frenetic flamingle-mangle-a discordant discotheque of delirious dancing, flamboyant feathers, and flamingo lingo.

Hope everyone's been having a great day!
I think Roger still has a couple of good years left.
If Rafa gets the win, he'll play Novak on Friday in the semi-final.
Yes, Novak and Rafa will be a good match but Del Po is giving Rafa a good run for the money today, especially in this fifth set. I'm almost rooting for Del Po but still want Rafa to succeed. lol It's just that poor Del Po is a great player but only seems to make it so far and then chokes, so to speak.
I don't doubt Fed has a year or two left but I'm still thinking he should quit while he's a head like Sampras did.

The guy in the office next to mine was yelling at someone so I got up and stood by my door to eavesdrop when the guy he was yelling at left the office and walked by and saw me. I got caught.

Wow! That was some crazy good tennis! Yeehaw Rafa!
And, added bonus, Big John won his match, and will play Anderson on Friday!
