Waiting for the Shoe to Drop

You know how things seem to go right for a while and then, POW, everything turns bad. Well, everything is going good right now so I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Let me recount my week for you.

Hurricanes/Tropical storms Ernesto and Florence have sidestepped my vacation destination and there seems to be no more disturbances out there right now. So next week's vacation might happen without weather issues. That is a good thing. I don't like crowds of people and I definitely didn't want to be in an evacuation situation with thousands of people that I don't like.

Tennis took a nice turn for the better too. I got my revenge against the Philipino Flash. You know how great teams and pros have their nemisis right? Cowboys/Skins. Sox/Yanks. Agassi/Sampras. Connors/McEnroe. Lakers/Celtics. Captain Redneck/The English Language. Lumpy/Dignity. Packers/Bears. Ebone/The Truth. Well, we are all familiar with these. I can say that Mini Les was that nemesis for me on the hardcourts. I was finally able to overcome his game and hand him the beatdown he so desperately needed. His Michael Chang leaps, his switching of raquets, his power serves, all for nothing. I am not saying that it wasn't close but he had ghosts of ancestors past coming back and dissing him for crapping on the family name.

Now Neckbone is the only thing standing between The Jiggy and the title. In reality, the only thing standing between me and the title is the calendar. As soon as we are able to play, it should be over.

Then last nite, Jeff Burton made the Chase for the Cup. Roddick won in the semis and will play Federer tonight. Russian hottie Sharipova graced my television last night and won. It was a good sports weekend too, so far. And the NFL is back. Are YOU ready for some football??
