Beckham, Beckham, Beckham. Well, everyone else is mentioning him, so I figure I'd join in!
In all seriousness, I'm somewhat amazed at the coverage devoted in the worldwide press to the Beckham Saga. Alright, so it's to be expected that the front and back pages of the tabloids would be all Beckham, but it was the top story on ITV's News at Ten and featured as the second-lead even on AMERICAN sports websites like SI.com and ESPN. It's great to see worldwide coverage of the sport, mind you, I'm just shocked at the scale of it.
They're showing a lot of tennis on TV now in the run-up to Wimbledon... I was lucky enough to visit (it's one of those seminal sporting events known the world over) in 2001, and if everything goes to plan I'm hoping to go again this year with Reshma. If I don't, I'll probably put the pics from 2001 up on the site...
In other news, I have a gigantic pounding headache on a scale I've never experienced before. Thank god for the wonders of Panadol, huh?
