It is Wednesday (I think) and that means Surviving “Paradise” day…the day I unabashedly promote my book Surviving “Paradise” by Susan Willoch Shaver. Please check it out at Amazon.com! It is available for $8.99 in paperback, $4.99 in kindle edition, and $4.99 at Barnes and Noble nook. It is a very funny, entertaining read about a southern woman who relocates to Sarasota, FL full of excitement, only to be met by a ridiculous set of people and circumstances. Think neighborhood mayhem and multiply it by however many times you like, I guarantee you that it is impossible to match this level of “craziness”! It is full of witty humor and satire. So, give it try, I think you will like it!
Now, I have to admit I am sad to be back in the ATL after such a wonderful experience in Palm Springs, CA and at the Paribas Open in Indian Wells, CA. It is so BEAUTIFUL there. And such a great vibe, I really hope to be out there permanently someday soon! Again, a few pics, of just how happy I was and also, think “Mr. Federer to serve”!
Meanwhile, it seems UGA is up to it’s usual shenanigans. Four players arrested for “theft”. Interestingly, they participated in spring practice according to reports. I guess we will wait and see what happens in this latest incidence of UGA players behaving badly.
In the midtown school better know as Georgia Tech, a very bright and ambitious student did what is very difficult, took the “T” off the TECH tower…making it shine brightly as…ECH for a few hours. Apparently there are so many security measures involved in protecting the much beloved landmark, not to mention the weight and measurements of the “T”, that only a brainiac GT student could pull this off. Sadly, the youngster is in police custody although students are calling the individual a “hero”. Well, I don’t know about that but it was “clever”! The “T” will be replaced and life will go on at the school UGA refers to as the “joke by Coke”. Um…I trying to think in light of these two stories which school is the “joke”?
Everyone got those March Madness brackets filled out? I fear mine is not so good. I sat down and in a jiffy, just went for it. I have a final four of Arizona, Florida, UVA, and Duke. I have Florida vs. Duke for the title with Florida winning. Gee…I don’t know. Should I have gone with Arizona? What about the Dukies? Then there is Michigan! Oh well, too late now so we will go with it and enjoy the action and see how it all unfolds. The dance begins officially Thursday (tomorrow, I think, remember, I am still on PT!).
Back to tennis…action is getting underway at Crandon Park in Key Biscayne. Really surprised to see Roger Federer decide to play this tournament at the last minute. Then again, since he has no points to defend here since he did not play last year (or the year before) why not pick up some points and keep moving back up in the rankings if all goes well? Have to say, really glad I went to see him in California. I have done Miami, thanks but no thanks. Still, should be great tennis as most all of the big names are there on both the men’s and women’s side. The Williams sisters have rejoined the party so Serena will have to be dealt with in Miami. Look for her to come on strong after skipping Indian Wells. Also, big news broke today that Andy Murray has parted ways with his coach Ivan Lendl after just two years. Hum… Word is that Stefan Edberg is is the house and was seen practicing with Roger! Good news!
Tonight, another new episode of Nashville airs on ABC at 10:00 pm EST. This year is taking us on quite a ride of new and unexpected twists and turns. Another ABC hit I love, The Following with Kevin Bacon! Just watched my DVR and caught up! OK folks, if you missed this week’s episode I will tell you now, stop reading…spoiler alert…Claire is ALIVE!! Love this show.
Until later…
Update: Apologies…Nashville will not give us a new episode until next week! Bummer! Oh well, tennis is on most of the night on tennis channel? Sorry!
