Love .. 15 .. 30 .. 40

The biggest day of the year for Sports? Well for most it would be the Super Bowl, but for me, there are four big days ... Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open. I love to watch tennis. I don't understand why they keep score like they do. What is "love" about being at zero? I am watching the Australian Open now. The William's Sisters. I have been up to 1am almost every night for a week. Roddick vs Federer. Which sister will be in the final? Will they make it to the finals in the doubles? What is so exciting about a little yellow ball bouncing from one side of the court to the other. I can't really answer that but once I sit down to start watching I just can't stop. I am excited when the Grand Slams come on but they also make me sad. When I moved to Columbia, the one person that was nice to me and encouraged me to stay and give it some time was Gary's mom, Jackie. She died before we got married. We shared the love of tennis and I miss her but when the Slams come around it is more obvious that she isn't here but it also reminds me of the time I did get to spend with her. She was a great lady. Game. Set. Match.
