Great tennis at Wimbledon today where Federer won his fifth in a row, tying Borg's—my favorite—record from '76 to '80. It's worth noting that if Nadal had won, he would have been the first player since—you guessed it—Borg in 1980 to win the French and Wimbledon in the same year. And Borg did it three times in a row. The event had a lot of people looking back and remember just how good Borg really was back then. I had never forgotten.

Enjoyed a couple movies over the last few days:

Blood Diamond was intense. Leonardo DiCaprio gave a fine performance in a gripping story that really makes me want to stay out of Africa.

Children of Men paints a very dark vision of the near future where no one in the world has been born for eighteen years. Clive Owen plays an interesting flawed hero in a harrowing story.
