Hope

Finally and (very) belatedly, I am reading Crossing the Threshold of Hope . Interesting, to say the least. At least from a Catholic point of view. I'm not sure how long I will take with it, though, since my brain processes serious books rather slowly... Wishing everyone a joyful Christmas.

Ways to get out of longkangs

So, no surprise that Spain won Davis Cup . Like the commentators, I too was happy to see Nadal retrieving, hitting into corners SO much more than in the last half year. Perhaps his bagel for Berdych will get him out of the longkang he has been in all these months. I'm sorry for Berdych that he had to be at the receiving end. Surely, he must have thought he had a bit of a chance during the 7-5 first set. Then from set 2, he must have been wondering, 'Why me?' Meanwhile, from Switzerland to Scotland to Serbia and Sweden, surely there must have been a collective groan, 'Oh man, is that beast back for good?' On Facebook, Nadal says: Please allow me to be very happy for this win. I know most of you are not Spanish but this is the win of my team and I am very happy for the win. Actually, I was even happier to see Handsome Mr Ferrer (whom almost no one really cares about) climb out of his 1-6, 2-6 hole to turn his match around . Sorry to Stepanek, of course. Hopefull...
