Phew!

As I type these words, it is half an hour since, having slept through much of the night, waking up one early hour to watch a little bit of Djokovic-Dodig, then waking up again to see Roger Federer had taken the first set from Gilles Simon and going back to sleep with the full expectation the match would be wrapping up when I got up again, I have spent another hour sweating it out, feeding my anxiety on Twitter, flashing back to last April and the Caps having that those three games and not being able to close it out(and very briefly diverting myself with the image of Roger playing Jaroslav Halak in full goalie regalia), and trying to decide if Andy Murray really had a chance to beat Rafa in the semis and if I could hope to see him win this one, then finally watching as Roger took five match points to close it out, finally snapping at him to earn ten bucks more for Queensland flood relief(which thankfully, he was obliging enough to do).  I’m calming down now.  That’s the Australian Open for you.
