Jul 2012

When I was single, I was really BIG into footbaall, golf, baseball and, especially tennis.

Today, I have a wife and son. My family are the people I want to spend my time with. I'm still a big tennis fan, but it only goes as far as the fac that I'm very happy when my favorite players (Federer, Azarenka, Nadal & Serena Williams) win. If they lose, I'm sorry but I'm not about to go into a days long depression as some do.

I'm also aware that the sports "heroes" are only human beings. Their poop stinks, too!

PEACE!
