I have so little joy in my life.

One of the very few things I have to look forward to is the second week of Wimbledon. During this glorious period, Wimbledon Update on NBC is squeezed between local news and Tonight show reruns. Why does my local news feel compelled to lessen the experience by concluding their sportscast with their own recap of Wimbledon. Wouldn't make more sence to simply say "'Stay tuned for Wimdledon Update immediately after 'NewsCenter13'". Its not like they are in the habit of giving tennis news. Once they have removed the bloom from the rose, the only thing I have to look forward to on the Update is Mr. Carillo fawning over Gollum.

Am I the only American who has grown tired of John McEnroe?

I read a book

I stumbled across a new Robert Asprin book at the library. Its called 'Wartorn: Resurrection' and its co-authored with some other dude whose name escapes me. I became a fan of Asprin's spoofy Myth fantasy series when I was in my early teens. I lost interest in his schtick after a few books (I am having the same problem with Lemony Snicket). Well, 'Wartorn' claims to be book one in a series and it played as straight fantasy.

The copyright is from this year so I realize book two might be a while. Unfortunately, his publisher gives no info, nor does it even acknowlege the book I have as being written. I find that to be frustrating.
