Busy Surviving Paradise Wednesday!

It is Wednesday, Surviving Paradise Day, and is is a busy one!!  First off…the matter of the day, promoting my book/story Surviving “Paradise” Surviving Paradise by Susan Willoch Shaver.  Follow a southern woman who relocates to a new town (in southwest Florida) full of great expectations – only to be met by a ridiculous set of people and circumstances.  It is sure to bring a chuckle and perhaps some experiences one can relate to??  See the HOME page at this website and the BUY THE BOOK option on the menu bar!

Moving onto Sports..so much going on!  World Series underway and the Kansas City Royals hosted the San Francisco Giants in game one last night.  What a performance by Bumgarner for the Giants and San Fran took game one 7-1.  The Royals are no longer undefeated in playoff action!

Tennis action from Basel, Switzerland.  The hometown boy, number one in our hearts, Roger Federer took the court today and was in full flow!  He took care of G. Muller 6-2, 6-0 and it was the beautiful game on display.  Next up for Federer..D. Istomin.  Rafael Nadal took on qualifier Herbert of France and continued to look very impressive, winning 6-2, 6-2.  One can hope we are headed for a Nadal – Fed final.  Dimitrov won in three sets and the other Swiss guy, Stan the man Wawrinka fell in three sets.  Noticeably missing from courtside, Roger’s wife Mirka.  She also was not at Shanghai.  But, there are four kids now and the times are a changing.  One thing not changing, Roger Federer looking very good as we head towards the Masters event in Paris and the Year End Finals in London.

Novak Djokovic announced the birth of his first child, a boy, named Stefan.  Congrats!  He has announced his intention to compete in both Paris and at the Year End Finals in hopes of keeping his #1 ranking.  Federer is hot in pursuit.

At the WTA Year End Finals in Singapore, a lot of upsets have been taking place.  Yesterday, Sharapova fell to Wozniacki in three sets.  Way to go Caro!  Today, Halep demolished Serena Williams, 6-0, 6-2, shocker!  Halep was nearly perfect in her performance.  Ivanovic defeated Bouchard in two sets.  Also, Radwanska defeated Kvitova yesterday.  Action continues in both these events tomorrow!

Tonight, The Mysteries of Laura airs on NBC at 8:00 pm EST and then Nashville at 10:00 pm EST on ABC.  Does anyone else out there enjoy About A Boy on Tuesdays just before Chicago Fire as much as I do?

Over and out for now!
