We fed coins to the electric meter. We discussed if Oliver Twist had lived there. Often, we went to the local Arab butcher to buy lamb chops. We celebrated our honeymoon before our marriage. It was in Polish and Hebrew, which tells you how it worked out. Wed, 2 Jul 2008 18:22:10 GMT http://greasy.com/raragoe/short_post.html Okay this'll be quick. I just got back from my tennis practice-first time in two months. Today I ran 3 miles-which is really not bad after the accident (i usually do 6). And my coach told me that my serve is faster which is really weird because: 1. well, this is my first practice in two months, and 2. she usually prefers to mention (read: yell at) my stupid backhands. Oh-and I have money. Can't really remember the last time I did LOL I think I'm gonna buy a plane ticket. Going home for the ...

Last week, Serbian tennis sensation Novak Djokovic was speaking on the phone from the Barclay on 48th Street. It was close to 9pm and a group of friends were waiting patiently outside his hotel room waiting to party in Manhattan. “Everyone is beatable,” Djokovic said. “No one is unbeatable.” He was discussing Roger Federer, the 11-time Grand Slam winner who Djokovic had defeated in the Rogers Cup Final, a US Open tune-up, nine days earlier. “With ...

Sampras and Federer ..Now I get reminded of the comparisons drawn out between Sir Donald Bradman and Tendulkar.. The legendary Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher..And in both the cases the latter ones have been favoured by the media..but none can discount the average of 99.96 of The classy , tech-savvy Don of Cricket!!

Thu, 28 Feb 2008 10:07:31 GMT http://greasy.com/taramaz/girl_power.html Per the Guardian: Quote: The All England Club is expected to announce this morning that Wimbledon will fall into line and pay equal prize money to women this year. The Australian and US Open treat both sexes as equal and last year the French decided that only the respective champions should receive the same. However, if Wimbledon follows the limited line of the French, it can expect further criticism from the WTA Tour. yikes- it's about time huh!? i can't believe it took this long..so go g ...

Like when we were getting in line for lunch all of a sudden I told them "Honey, don't waste your time on every little detail, cause it's gonna ruin you. Just focus on the big picture, okay?" And a minute later when they were trying to decide whether to pick apple pie or pudding for desert, they knew I was right. I like to think o ...

Fri, 8 Feb 2008 03:04:31 GMT http://greasy.com/acejack/andy_roddick_sucks.html I learned this morning that Andy Roddick pulled out of the Tennis Channel Open in Las Vegas. At first I was upset, since I'm a big fan of all of the American tennis players. Not to mention the fact that we were hoping to see Roddick when we attend next Friday's Quarterfinal matches. But on second thought, who cares. Roddick is a one shot wonder and will probably finish his career as a one slam wonder. His game consists of his serve, and that's it. Every other shot he possesses, (save the b ... Thu, 7 Feb 2008 22:38:25 GMT http://greasy.com/kaushik/rejuvenated_sania.html Sania Mirza is the only noteable indian woman tennis personality.
