Welcome, finally, to my website. Here's info on me, my books and other writings, what I'm up to, and the inevitable deeply self-absorbed blog. Visit, graze, leave a comment, then go out into the sunshine and read.

Wimbledon

|

Holy crap!  Did you see that yesterday?  Tennis is the sport I like the most, and I've watched Wimbledon since I was teeny-tiny, and the only match that's even come close to that is the Patrick Rafter/Goran Ivanisevic one.  But this one was better.

And the right guy won.  Argue with me, go on, I dare you.  Nadal winning is good for a number of reasons: 1) it challenges the omnipotence of Federer (sport is boring when one guy always wins), and 2), more importantly, it gives a nice shake-up to all those boring guys who only ever concentrate on clay (of which there's way WAY too much on the tour).  Good stuff, very heartening.

And did you notice Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani in Roger Federer's box?  Didn't you think Gavin Rossdale cheered like just the most incredible asshole?  Didn't it make you hate Roger Federer a little?  Or a lot?
