Wimbledon: Will you be watching?
My annual homage and a new obsession.
My New Love
It’s that time of year again. We’re watching Wimbledon and catching the Tour de France whenever we can find it. We should be watching the Tour on MAX, but AT&T jacked up my plan again. Don’t use AT&.T. They have the worst customer service of all industries across the board.
Anyhoo…hardcore P4B fans will recall my love and devotion for Serena Williams. That was before she cast me aside for some jerk and got flabby. She looks like somebody’s grandmom now.
We are watching Wimbledon on DVR and as of Thursday morning, we are not current. But the week is shaping up nicely. I think the weekend will be exciting. We will try to catch the finals live from the undisclosed location. But first we need to catch up on the matches we recorded.
But something magical happened in the quarterfinal round. I saw a tiny powerhouse named Jasmine Paolini. She’s 5 foot- nothing and a cute bundle of muscle. But she covers the court like she’s 6’3”. Sadly, she beat the American, Navarro. But I forgive her because I am her new stalker. I’m pretty sure when she won that last game she was smiling at ME.
It will be considerably more inconvenient to hide in her bushes and call her name every night, being she’s from Italy and all. At least Serena was on this continent. But I will do my best.
I do know some of the Thursday results. But just in case you too are recording matches, I will refrain from reporting.
And keep an eye on Djokovic!
It looks very much like he is going to chalk up another title on a wonky knee. He just had surgery. Every time he cuts hard on that leg it give me the willies. But he’s banging away.
It’s going to be a great weekend, so long as the weather holds up.
Speaking of weather, and apropos of nothing…
This has nothing to do with the tennis world, but have you seen the weather at Wimbledon. Spectators have been walking around in jackets - dressing warmly. The temps have been in the 60’s. There is no talk about heat injuries with the players and fans.
What happened to the panic about uniformly hotter temps around the entire planet we’ve been subjected to for a month?
The green scammers were working overtime telling us about how the world is coming to and end because of the heat waves we are seeing in a few areas. We are told it’s El Nino, it’s not El Nino, it’s CO2, it’s Joy Behar’s farts, blah, blah.
I’ll let you in on a little secret. It’s the sun. It is not only in busy phase right now in terms of solar flares and sun spots, it is in an unusually intense one.
The folks who are spreading the latest gloom and doom are not STUDYING the climate. They are MODELING climate possibilities based on arbitrary, isolated assumptions and inputs. Some of the what-ifs are outrageous.
Sleep easy. The world is doing fine.
Cheers.
