RG 2012 Nole Watch: The Hour Has Come

It's difficult living in the present, isn't it.

Don't ask me why, but everywhere I look people are angry because of the past and even angrier because of the future.

So angry they forget there is a great big now which if recognised and lived in deletes the anger and fear that causes it.

Rafa has the past.
Federer has the future.
Nole has the present.


GO FOR IT NOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Yes NITB I think I had a close call there. But can safely report now that I am definitely rooting for Nole today.

NITB, did you get to follow the results during your vaca? If Nole wins this it will be even better given how close to losing he was at times, no?

I did a bit.
The worst was when I was on the plain. We had to wait on the run for about 50 minutes but at least I could "watch" the live scores, my heart was bleeding seriously. I had to turn the phone when Nole was two sets down at I think two all in the third.
ALl kind of thoughts went through my head...and then I started "playing" this musical piece that signalled the beginning of RG in my Nole heart this year. It was the O Mio babbino caro, played by Joshua Bell:

It came back to me all of a sudden the harp beginning kept going over and over again and I was dying slowly "listening" to it in my head trying to picture what was going on to Nole flying 8 miles above the clouds I had the flashes of him losing, I actually hassled the air hostess to ask the pilot if he could find out from the ground control what the score was and to announce it on the plain, I AM serious .....So she went and asked him but nothing came back, so I thought he mustve lost.
So when the plain landed I asked and was told he won, man, you should've seen me, prettily dressed, picture of a lady I leapt abouta metre off the ground (OK, mybe not that high, but close )fist high in the air, and let out a primal YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH from the top of my voice...I don't want to know what people behind me must have thought as they were piling out of plain, but I didn't care (I still don't )

I also saw the last two sets against Tsonga. I kid you not, the same song came to me out of nowhere, just started twirling around my brain...the rest is history !!!!!
I even logged in JA 606 during a coach ride once and saw your comment , but as I was not on the local network those few minutes ate my entire credit of nearly £10. It was wroth it , though
