Longest running tennis match ever; can't even imagine the exhaustion. Just reading about it wore me out.

I also learned that the NY Times now has a twitter friendly short URL. echofon created the second URL from the first. It used to give me a different URL shortener when I gave a nytimes.com URL.

There are those rare times when I wish I had a TV - knowing this match was going on, and not being able to watch a bit of it was killing me.
