Hey Man,

There’s a lot of shutting down going on.

Why not try it on yourself or get a little more creative?

and what exactly is the pun in “double take”?? is ‘take’ a technical tennis term of some sort?

and in the last paragraph, why is there a comma after “the Bryans”?

man this is one of the best articles I ever read. I love all the “shut downs”, and the no pun intended was hilarious. LAME

If this is all about nitpicking today:-

Rod: ‘Hey Man’, Jill sounds like a female to me. I think maybe ‘try it on yourself’ should be ‘try it yourself’

Ged: Sentences beginning with ‘and’ and no capitals? Not sure how correct that is.

Wow, I thought the Bryans were younger. I didn’t realize they were turning 30 already.

Good thing I have thick skin or I might have had to crawl under a rock and cry after some of these comments. The pun in double take was that I was talking about a doubles match. It was meant as a joke. I have no idea why there is a comma after Bryans in the last paragraph. I probably had written something else there and then rewrote part of it. As I mentioned in another post, editing is not my forte. I can do a decent job of it but not immediately after I have written a piece. I am finally reading these here for the first time and I am about to join ya’ll with the harsh comments. I usually write long travel features so I have plenty of time to go back and edit. I wrote this in a busy hotel lobby with people stopping by to read over my shoulder every five minutes. This is not such a good thing when they happen to be the current subject matter. You should have seen what I originally wrote about some of these guys. I’ll concede on the “shut down thing”. I usually make a point not to repeat myself. So it was an off day. If you hate it, then don’t read it. Just keep in mind, I’m a girl and a blond, so the fact that I can spell my own name should be impressive enough:)

Well another blondie here…….before you all start….english is not my first lenguage, so please accept some mistakes of my part…..

But what I think you all are missing is that she writes a pretty good blog every day, you can almost imagine sitting there yourself!

Ciao
