    I guess I make you angry in more ways than one. Love Federer's tears - such passion for the game - so emotional - this guy is always crying at AO - whether he wins or loses.
    Get out there and hit a damn ball against a backboard if you must. Go to the HS tennis court, that you pay taxes for, and take a neighbor. I see plenty of people playing tennis with empty courts next to them when I run on the track. You lay around and you will become one of our health care drags. I'm just gonna die quickly outside, you won't pay a penny for me. That's the plan anyways.

    People that are able to take care of their body and don't...
    Where is the individual responsibility to Heath care? It's bigger than you. Don't you steal from me by dragging on health insurance.

    hahaha. Do you mean like Jim Fixx :-) Unfortunately, we don't know how we'll go.

    For me, I think it'll be Alzheimer's. I feel my memory going (although everyone tells me it's natural) and it was probably the Metformin (which I stopped as soon as that study for higher risk of dementia/Alzheimer's came out) and which was free from the local supermarket. No worries, currently I avoid the medical field like the plague. Low carb (only vegetables - no grain), high fat diet, multi-vitamins, fish oil and probiotics. And yes, I know I need exercise - that should be my New Year's resolution - to get off this board and exercise.

    And I'll not live a second longer than God intends - exercise or not :-)

    Uhhh... Jim Fixx died quickly. That tends to happen with healthier old folks. Excerise don't not necessarily prolong life, it prolongs a healthy life. If your decrepit when you are 30, that might be 48 years of medical attention.

    Bottom line. You dont have to start spending $ on people early in life. Take care of yourself. You don't think God would want this? It's not how you go or when you go, it's what has occurred before you go. It will make you appreciate Federer even more if you give tennis a shot.

    I just got back from a little over 3/4 of a mile swim. Now I will get some work done efficiently. Then hit the trails for a bike ride. Perfect weather for it. Tomorrow I will hit the running trails after work, if things work out. Then Thursday off to Colorado to help a friend put a roof on. Life is good. God is blessing me for taking care of myself, maybe.

    I don't consider 52 old (that's how old Fixx was when he died of a heart attack while jogging).

    I already know how to play tennis and obviously, I don't need anymore appreciation of Federer - it's because of him that I've been up every other night at 3:30 for the past 2 weeks.

    Yea he had a heart condition. They did not have the various blockage and electrical signaling tests back in the day. No lingering though.

    Then get your butt on the court.
    4 out of 7 sets with your most worthy opponent, sister.
    5 push-ups and one jog around the court perimeter after each game you lose.

    I bet ya got the big serve like I do so games end quickly so we gotta make up for that.

    I thought Roger was done about 4 or so years back but then Nadal, Murray got injuries. Joker got injured and does not have the long mental toughness required. Federer is so efficient on strokes and takes such good care of himself... He is a once in a lifer. Enjoy!

    Nadal is incredibly tough, but his strokes require so much effort and contortion..And because he loves the backcourt he is constantly running. Federer is a freak. He was goofy as a youngster but grew into his body unlike some young prodigy that gets too much attention early and then can't play tough with maturity, burn out. Andre A... (I think he had a semi comeback year?)
