Around noon our cable TV went out. It's still out now, 3.5 hours later. And today the Wimbledon men's singles final is being played. As a result, I pressure washed the lanai and pool area.
I found Wimbledon Radio online and during rest breaks I've been able to catch a number of points - including the 4th set tiebreaker. British accents calling the match, fans ooh-ing and aah-ing, players (well, Nadal) grunting, the sound of the rackets striking the ball.
I've finished the pressure washing, taken a bath, and am sitting on the couch listening to the match. They're on serve in the 5th set, with Federer serving at 4-4.
Update: Well, Nadal took the match, 9-7 in the 5th set. Amazing tennis from what I heard on the "radio" and have read online. Sad I couldn't have watched more of it, but the sounds of the match will be with me for a while. Called the cable TV company - a technician won't be out until Tuesday morning.
Update2: Just found videos of the 4th set tiebreaker and the entire 5th set on NBCSports.com. Wow.
Are back in first place again. The new stadium initiative has died (again), but the Rays continue their winning ways. Last night they took the second game in a series against Boston.
That's the best record in MLB right now. The All Star break is just around the corner. How long can they keep it up?
