Well how about that, I'm crankier by the minute

I'm one of those poor unfortunates who's grip on all the marvels of modern computer use and uploads and downloads and such is an ongoing puzzle that deepens every minute for me.
I just learn something new, but then there are a million other things I have to learn, to utilize this new wizardry.

All I've wanted to do was replace that slide show on my blog with my own photos and it's taken several hours out of my day and night now and I still can't do it.
I have created two great shows, but it will have to wait until tomorrow.

In the meantime I wanted to comment on the crazy hard-hitting tennis match from last night.

Bravo Raffa Nadal, Bravo Verdasco, your match was a true slug fest in the game of tennis.
The way you chased down almost every ball was truly exciting to watch, and both of you deserved to win. I'm always sad that there has to be a loser in these amazing battles, just like last years' Wimbledon, but that's life.

However there is a definite upside in this for me, being a devoted Roger Federer fan, and a lover of history.

There's no way of sounding nice about this, but I was hoping for exactly this kind of match so that the winner would be too tired to really hurt Roger get to his record-breaking 14th Grand Slam, as a winner.

I'm sorry that you're very tired Raffa, and that your fingers are bleeding, but you do have so much more time on your hands, being five years younger than Rog.

So thanks for the wonderful way you've played throughout this tournament, and for winning last night, but you are also a Roger fan. I've heard the way you revere him, even now when you have taken his crown as the world's current #1 Tennis player, but you know he has to win on Sunday.

You have come further than ever on the hard courts now and we all see your value. You may be on your way to outdo Roger in all time wins, but not just yet.
Next year will be much better for that!

Just one more thing!

Bravo Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri, you were truly wonderful and you totally reignited the dying embers for the political side of my life, with your passionate declaration of truth about all those greedy people trying to rip 'us the people' off even further.

Thanks KO, you are so consistent and Rachel too! You have a way of summing up the day's events, that leave me feeling in the loop.
especially when I haven't been listening to 1090 for some reason or another.
Love you AM-1090--you know who you are!
