29. Really, I have felt just horrble about that since you posted!

I HATE when this happens to me. Where I live I have a lousy satellite to watch on. The feed is jerky and in and out when it gets cloudy and when it rains it is gone. My internet connection is wireless and the tower is quite a ways away so it is not capable of even posting the points on the site let alone watching it online. The local station would replace tennis coverage with anything it can and often when the coverage is on the network I don't get to watch. "What? We would be pounded if we did not show Wheel of Fortune" (I missed US Open coverage of a record breaking chance for Agassi after rain had postponed many matches. I was livid). So my point is, this happens to me all the time and I hate it. To be that person who blows it for someone else just killed me!

I will refrain from posting. Really, coverage is so difficult when it switches from here to there to somewhere else often making you watch something you have already seen before they cover the next match and then switch again before that is over. My husband is stunned by how I have to search for the Slam matches. Oh well. I will stop posting until it is over because frankly I never really know what I am watching, if I have not seen it before I have to assume it is from this day but sometimes it is not. It has to be this way for everyone isn't it?
