Things To Do in Hemet When You're Completely Zonked Out

1. Watch Amelie Mauresmo beat Justine Henin-Hardenne for the Wimbledon championship. Mauresmo played a tight second and third sets, serving and volleying like you should on the grass courts. She clearly deserved it and, finally, exorcised past Finals demons.

(On a completely side note, I love how NBC markets these weekend finals matches as "Breakfast at Wimbledon"...even though I never have breakfast at 6am...but it'd be nice to actually have breakfast at Wimbledon)

2. Wait in high anticipation for Nadal and Federer to play for the Wimbledon crown. These are clearly the two best male players in the world, and they're meeting again for a grand slam (Nadal defeated Federer a few weeks ago at the French Open). Will Roger win his 4th in a row and join the pantheon of great tennis players? Or will Rafa spoil another of Roger's triumphs? This is what makes being a tennis fan so fantastic right now. I think Federer is the best tennis player I've ever seen...it's like watching Jordan in his prime. Better than Sampras. I'll probably dedicate a whole entry to the dude. He's freakin' awesome.

3. Sleep. This is a highly underrated activity IMHO.

4. Sleep some more.
