I haven't had car troubles in a while. I hadn't, until today, when I couldn't start the Probe and realized I must have left the lights on last night. Fortunately none of my roommates or friends are around this weekend to jump my car or take me to buy a new battery! ... So the mother will be coming down tomorrow. I'll get a free meal out of it, too, so it's not all bad.

Monica, could you just do me this favor and win tomorrow in Rome? It would make me so happy and restore some faith in your abilities from the tennis community...
