Hi all - Sunday, Sunday here and having a good weekend in Berkeley, CA.

I took a nice walk with my friend J**** in Alameda, CA along the shoreline yesterday and we saw all sorts of cool natural things - we saw birds diving in the bay and manta rays in the water. For real! It was very cool. There were two or three rays in the water as we sat by the water and watched. Really great. We also saw tons of geese and some baby ducks too. There is a nice path that winds along the shoreline at Crab Cove so we did that walk. It was really lovely.

I have been watching the tennis for the French Open and just heard that Roger Federer dropped out today. He is having trouble with his knees so that is too bad. As I was working on this entry - I watched Serena Williams lose in her match today. So that was too bad. I really love her. Not to be for her this time.

I don't have much to report this week. Work is happening and that is good. Hope all is well with you there where you are .Peace.

So I am home sick today and the only good thing about that is the Men's Final of the US Open. What a hottie Rafael Nadal is...they keep calling him Rafa. Ho-MG. He is gorgeous. He is from Mallorca, Spain and hotchachacha. He is down a break right now in the second set but won the first set. Good tennis and very exciting. I hope he pulls it out. This would be his first US Open title. He also cuts quite a figure dressed all in black...nice.

Here are some pics of him.

Anyhoo. Just thought I would post. Oopsie...they just postponed due to rain. Ughity--Second set was tied at 4-4 too. That kind of delay breaks the rhythm of the match and will totally effect the outcome.

PS--to anyone who got a crazy email from my gmail account. Please just delete that and do not click on any of the links in that email. I am phasing out that g-mail account and let me know if you would like the new one or not. My account was hacked. Apologies for the message and just delete it. Thanks!
