low energy day.....

ok, so i tried to conserve energy/resources on this day..mostly off......i sat under the trees to dig out daylilies in my on-going eradication scheme....and then i hung laundry out on the deck railings rather than to use the dryer....and then i repaired sofa cushions for my eldest while watching a 5-set thriller at wimbledon between andy roddick and richard gasquet...wow...the frenchman battled back from the basement to beat roddick....and i was pleased to see marion bartolli beat justine henin to reach the women's final...i like to see the underdog win...and i really hope that bartolli whoops venus williams...who, like her sister, is a most ungracious loser.....so very american in that regard.....neither venus nor serena has ever lost to a better player.....no, the loss is always ailments or mistakes that they had made...when serena lost to justine, she blamed her wrapped thumb....and her wrapped leg.....and never once complemented her opponent.......my next move is to relax by the pond.....reading the new yorker in natural light......a good day for a friday....
