Black Tennis Pro's
Well hello there Ms. Shelia! Once again you're doing an outstanding job! Those are some beautiful photos.
With so much negativity always swirling around, they make us proud to be kissed by the sun! 
Good Morning Jacqueline !
I'm glad that I caught your comment before I kicked back to watch the matches this morning. Thank you very much. The photographer really captured them nicely.
"With so much negativity always swirling around, they make us proud to be kissed by the sun!"
You've got that right! Amen! Have a wonderful day.
It's a heart warming sight to me! I am thrilled that these two are on the verge of another Williams vs Williams final at Wimbledon 2008.
Let's hope they both do their job well and make it! Fingers crossed (not that they really need my help!). 
Good Morning Lovely People!
I'm so happy, happy, happy! Venus is in the finals! I'm so excited! C'mon Serena, your turn!
I *heart* the Williams family.
They've been extremely impressive this tournament. Ability-wise, there's no reason they shouldn't be 1 and 2 in the world by the end of the year.
Hey Fitness Diva, it is a beautiful sight isn't it? It's been a while since that kind of tennis excitement has made its way through, I'm ready !
Hey Unit6109, I know, I know, I know!! Yesterday I was totally washed out, but Venus has revived me today!
Hi MindSupreme (love that name), you're in the right place with that love!!
Van, at the rate they're going, you're absolutely right. Their focus this Wimbledon has harkened back a few years. It has been a pleasure to watch both of them be so threatening throughout a tournament again. This is the first time in a while that I feel like they are in the other players heads again.
I am so proud of these 2. Win or lose, they are both champs in my book. (I also love the photos!)
Hey LJ, absolutely!
Yeah boiiiieeee!! Serena just took the match. IT'S ON!!
The ladies look good and I wish them the best!
Hey Lisa C! It's all gravy at this point . It just can't get any better.
I just love that all white. It looks so nice and timeless.
No matter what the style, I love it too BlogPassion. I kinda wish it were mandatory here in the U.S. It gives tennis a certain air of dignity.
But then, we would have missed Serena's black "catsuit." Can't have that!
I'm loving it too! This is awesome and it really bodes well for their competitiveness at the Olympics in Beijing...Great photos!
Hi Matt! You are so right. This kind of play prior to the Olympics really brings on the hype and American hope. I'm looking forward to EVERY game 
!
Hats off to the ever-graceful Venus on her spectacular win. Now let's take the doubles!
Go Venus!
All, it's Sunday and I'm catching up on comments for the week. This is in response to your comment on my post: 1968 vs. 2008: Where Have We gone Wrong?
jlpro--Sometimes the only language that is appropriate are words like "no shit." I'm glad you enjoyed the read.
Mrs. Mecomber--I know, and isn't it sad that those of us who were kids in the sixties with all this freedom haven't learned any measure of restraint?
Jan--so what do we do about the whiny ass minority?
ireland5--great comments...I suppose the hard part is to figure out HOW to bring back personal responsibility, eh? And you're right, it's not the whole generation, just like what Jan says--the whiny ass minority.
hparis--I agree, the rise in social welfare is bad, however, it began during the depression and according to Tom Brokaw, "The Greatest Generation" turned out all right with social welfare. The thing is, social welfare, including social security has been institutionalized. How do we break away from it and stop this cycle of entitlement and taxation?
Roxy, thank you as always for your kind words. Do chime in on the debate if you get a moment.
sizzlingpopcorn--Your rant is indicative of the frustration that I think most of us feel.
Shelia--I really appreciate your awesome blog, but even more that that I appreciate your sharp mind. I think we think along the same lines on many subjects, it would be great to collaborate on some posts in the future, and if you had the time, it would be great if you could start an opinion-oriented blog.
threecollie--how could I possibly tell you graduated in 1970 just because you think this post is a good one?
Cheers!
Thank you so much Matt, I get the impression that we'd be some real talkers if face to face !
You know, I've given starting an opinion oriented blog a lot of thought over the last year. I just haven't put that much emphasis on really putting it together. But I'm sure I'll think about it more again since you've made that suggestion.
If you wanted to collaborate on an opinion-oriented blog I'd think we'd do very well...With the instant links form BTP and MTMD it would be off to a great start.
Give me a call if you ever want to discuss it. 828-788-1498
