Virtual Holiday Party, 2009 12/30/2009 - 5:00 PM

By Jackie Roe, TW Social Director

Hi there, come on in! So glad to see you - and you brought some sweets, I see. Go ahead and put them in the kitchen with the rest of the holiday treats.

A bunch of folks are already here, helping me set up shop. So far we have quite the spread: Jenni whipped up a decadent rum cake, and I made the egg nog, in addition to my signature Bûche de Noël. jewell can't come, but she sent over some homemade tennis player-shaped cookies and of course, tea. Doesn't quite make up for her absence, but we'll take it!

What else ... there's Bobby's white chocolate peppermint martini fixins and Mr. X's Spanish cider. And CL is adding to the bar; I see she has some scotch and a beer with Sam's name on it. (Think some of y'all ought to plan to stay put overnight.)

Hmm, there's nothing for me to drink here ... teetotaling and holiday parties really don't mix!

Lleytsie just came in a few seconds ago and brought with him the most fantastic gift - our playlist for the evening! What makes this so special is that it's a compilation of our selections from last summer's TW Music Festival. I'm grateful to Lleytsie for putting this together and even more excited to experience the TWibe's favorite tunes again. To listen, click here, select "Play All Videos," and enjoy!

As Pete noted at last year's party, this shindig is dog-friendly, smoker-friendly (that oughta please Ferru) and just-about-everything friendly, so make yourselves at home and have fun!

Flyer Rafa takes all things soo serious
Posted by Lynne (Rafalite) 01/01/2010 at 10:20 AM

I did send her a strong memo, so she is just being defiant!!

Posted by Aussiemarg,Madame President,Summer in Oz Tennis 01/01/2010 at 10:21 AM

Oh, Ferru. Self-loathing is so 2009.

Posted by sblily (Wheeeeeeeee!!!) 01/01/2010 at 10:23 AM

I love listening to David,he is soo cute

Bad luck David you played well,considering too your were called in at the last moment
Posted by Tfactor 01/01/2010 at 10:23 AM

Hi Lynne,
Rafa wins, yay!
Not sure what to expect tomorrow but I'll make sure to get good rest overnight just in case :)

Mirka's magic was particular strong when she was pregnant. Methinks it might be like rubbing a buddhas belly.
Posted by Aussiemarg,Madame President,Summer in Oz Tennis 01/01/2010 at 10:25 AM

Commies saying to Rafa,he has RafaMania?? lol!

Rafa with his usual raised eye brow look he didnt understand the question lol!
Posted by mina (meanie and proud of it) 01/01/2010 at 10:29 AM

3 lucky females all rooting for him... how could Fed not win 14 and 15 back to back? :D
Posted by Lynne (Rafalite) 01/01/2010 at 10:30 AM

I always find Rafa/David matches difficult to watch ... as I like them both but I can't support anyone against Rafa!

Hope you are well, Tfactor?
Posted by Papo (Got Nadal?) 01/01/2010 at 10:32 AM

Commies say that for the Federer/Ferrer match a champions tiebreak will be substituted for the third set, if a third set is necessary.
Posted by Aussiemarg,Madame President,Summer in Oz Tennis 01/01/2010 at 10:33 AM

I love David as well,I love his atttude both on and off the court.He is a real fighter we all saw that in the final tie of the DC.I would rather have him on my team than against me thats for sure.
Posted by Tfactor 01/01/2010 at 10:35 AM

Yes, thanks Lynne :)

I feel the same way about the other Armada members when they face Rafa but still I see it a win-win situation because I'd be happy for everyone.

What's tomorrows OP?
And is a 'champions tiebreak' a normal tiebreak?
Posted by Papo (Got Nadal?) 01/01/2010 at 02:23 PM

A champions tiebreak is won by the first player to reach ten points (must be two points ahead) instead of the usual seven points.

For tomorrow's OP look at Master Ace's post in the new thread.

Thanks!
