wimbledon

ok, so the mm has an affinity for wimbledon tennis............depsite the fact that she does not actually play.......just bear with me......growing up....chrissie evert was the queen...everybody wanted to be be chrissie...and then this foreigner named martina wanted to horn in on chrissie's glory.......chrissie and martina...so lovely to watch on tv.......so many afternoons i tuned in to see who would prevail..us open...the french....austrialia,virginia slims......and wimbledon........both made the game seem so effortless..........when i woke up from anesthesia after my ectopic pregnancy...chrissie evert was bowing goodbye to centre court after losing to martina......my 3-day recovery in-hospital is remarkable because i got to watch the remainder of wimbledom tennis...on cable....with nobody else trying to change the channel................when we took our 2 boys to england for the first time.....the train stopped at wimbledon...right in from of the tennis facility...on our way to hampton court...............and so today...when i checked the standings online.....i was saddened to see that martina...at the ripe old age of 47, was out of wimbledon singles.......heavens sakes.....you have to applaud a woman who at nearly my age will attempt such a feat..........chrissie gave up years ago to do fluff-commentary...but not martina.....she still plays doubles........bless her heart.............
