Wimbledon withdrawal symptoms
If the fortnight of 25 June to 08 July was spent watching Wimbledon on tv, this past week was mostly about looking for something else to do now that there's no tennis and no Federer to watch on tv. He-he. This is crazy!
I recall that for at least the first couple of days I whiled away the time reading online reports and articles about Federer's triumphant win at the finals for a fifth straight title and clipping the good ones to save in my Wimbledon 2007 folder of my Google Notebook. (My, my! Those accolades sure keep pouring in for Federer. We fans are so proud of him.) I had to do that straight away--as I usually do in the aftermath of a match or tournament--before the articles get lost forever when the links stop working.
After that, it was mainly channel surfing in a vain attempt to find something else to watch. I guess I got so used to the euphoria of watching tennis that I now find typical tv fare rather boring in comparison.
And then there was the short period of searching for and watching video clips of the finals match on YouTube. Can't get enough of that brilliant break of serve at 3-2 in the fifth set plus championship point of course.
Hmmm. I wonder if my friends over at the Tennis Addicts Anonymous (TAA) are going through the same "ordeal". Hey, JNU, MCFM, MCPA, HBI, JCSY and ERST!! How are you guys doing?
