CLEAVAGE CORRECTION - it's Serena! Sorry, I was blinded by the sight!

Serena is indeed proof,

Serena is indeed proof, though I gotta say I find it painful to watch her for just that reason--I get sympathy back pain!. Having hauled my butt around a tennis court for most of my life, I just wouldn't want to be carrying that much extra somethin,' Fortunately she has the musculature to support 'em, but if it were me, playing at the level, day in, day out, I would've had a reduction. I bet she jokes with Venus about what it would be like to be "free at last."

Anyone else hear about this? http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/07/04/sports/AP-FBN-McNair-Killed.h... I don't follow football, but I grew up in Nashville and it's been mentioned in many friends' facebook statuses....

Sometimes. Certain things

Sometimes. Certain things about it, anyway. More people than the place itself, though. I was not quite nineteen when I moved to France, so I've spent pretty much my entire adult life here. In many ways it feels more like home....

Since Canada Day fell

Since Canada Day fell inconveniently in the middle of the week, we are having our Canada Day barn dance tonight. Nobody minds, since half the folks round here are immigrants from the U.S. anyway. And, yes, it really will be held in a barn. In the hayloft. Yeehaw.

I am going to small town

I am going to small town parade in Iowa, then a picnic with my family afterward. In the evening we will watch fireworks. My sis is making a strawberry cheesecake. We are taking a long hike tomorrow to make up for the cheesecake, hah.

Civility is not a sign of weakness.

Funny, I'd never thought that

Funny, I'd never thought that one day hearing the word 'Iowa' would make me smile. Smile Enjoy the cheesecake!

I'll be celebrating with an old-fashioned block party. Except in California that means a cul de sac party with carne asada and Pacifico.

Independence Day isn't such a

Independence Day isn't such a big thing in the UK, strangely enough! I am however currently enjoying the Williams sisters at Wimbledon!

And I shall be shouting for Andy Roddick tomorrow too!!

mysticsmb's picture

Steph, watching the Williams

Steph, watching the Williams sistas as I write this--would rather see them play TOGETHER as they will later today in the doubles final, then against one another.

Thanks for the cheers for Roddick--sorry about other Andy. Roddick played the best tennis I've ever seen him play--I think he would have beaten RFed too if that's who he'd been playing. Let's see if he can do it again Sunday (Murray did have the better lifetime record vs. Roger).

p.s. yes, we all do still secretly love our mother country Wink

Steph's picture

Yep, when they play against

Yep, when they play against one another it's always a bit odd. 'Twas a good final however.

I think Roddick deserves it and I have always found it hard to support Federer - I find him a bit bland in spite of his supreme talent! Sampras syndrome.

p.s. Smile

Tex's picture

Sampras lover? And you find

Sampras lover? And you find the Fed bland? Smile Sorry about the royalty confusion - From now on I will def make it clearer when speaking of the Queens.... Wink

Steph's picture

Am not a big fan of either

Am not a big fan of either (my comments make sense in my head but not always when I write them down - sorry!) I can appreciate their enormous talent but in terms of watching I prefer others. Nadal for instance! (Apart from him hauling his pants out of his bum before he serves every point....!)

No problem on the Queens - I just need to remember there is more than one Wink

It's not all that big in

It's not all that big in France, either. Smile I'll pay tribute to both countries' national holidays on the 14th (Bastille Day) when there are fireworks and celebrations to attend. Today I'm dog sitting and then meeting (American) friends at an Irish pub in my neighborhood. But happy birthday, U.S.A. Laughing out loud I'll listen to all the songs in my library with America in their title in honor of the day. Young Americans~David Bowie, A Healthy, Normal American Boy~Bye Bye Birdie, An American Trilogy~Elvis Presley, American Pie~Don MacLean, America the Beautiful~Frank Sinatra (probably the only one that actually counts as patriotic), American Woman~The Guess Who and Lenny Kravitz versions, American Life~Madonna, America~West Side Story, An American in Paris~Gershwin and We're an American Band~Grand Funk. Think I'll skip Christmas in America (Melissa Etheridge) due to the season....
