Went over and saw JG play softball today at Lawrence Scott. JG fixed my truck box and shot it with some WD-40. Visited with the boys and watched "Happy Gilmore". Saw JG's new Rabbit and his new bike, which cost twice as much as the Rabbit!!!

Watching Wimbledon in the July heat

It's a terrific day to watch the Williams sisters play their semifinal matches at Wimbledon. Tomorrow Roger Federer takes on a resurgent Tommy Haas and the Battle of the Andies (Roddick versus Murray) commences.....
