clarabella's Bio

Back home, back at work, back to normal.
Long to be back in New York.
So long anticipated, so quickly over.
So many hopes for a Federer win, yet so pleased for the Argentinian.
Roll on the Masters at the O2 so I can drink in one more dose.
My cup has truly run over this year: lots of live tennis in several wonderful cities; both daughters embarking on new lives; me taking a tentative step here.
Thanks to the many who have given encouragement.

C

my only way to keep writing more than once a week is to form partnerships. i just dont have enough in me to keep writing by myself with all thats transpired

not because am angry or disapp - but you all are one of the biggest reasons why am still hanging about.

so the writing has increased because i was able to form partnerships - and the fact that i would like to get out of the dungeons .... and get back to top 5.

theres no point in whinin about it - its much better to do somethin about it

cheers -

PS: You wud love it, my tablet crashed yest. nite - you mac-phile

You're welcome, Clarabella. Don't worry too much about style, it will all come in time. You also don't need to change spelling in terms of US/UK variance (i.e. I won't get rid of the "u" if you use the word colour).

Count Djokovic, long, lean, and dark, black eyes beneath cloudy brow. Two sets up, flagging, head drooping, weakening by the minute. Forget the isotonic drink. Bring me blood!

I like your new profile pic. I meant to use the community BB to congratulate you on your latest AOTD, but I can't access it for some unknown (and really annoying) reason.
