Oh, cool!  I'm glad you got the chance to go, Anna... several people 
in my program went up for it, but they told me that since I'm not a 
tennis enthusiast, I probably wouldn't appreciate it.  I took their 
word for it, so the closest I'll ever get to Wimbledon is this old 
panhandler guy calling me "Venus Williams" on High Street this 
Sunday.  I wasn't sure whether to be flattered (she's rich) or 
insulted (sorry, but I do not look ANYTHING like her).
