Roger Federer

Over the Net Kate Dorsey Years ago, when I first started this blog, I wrote a post about Roger Federer but never put it up. I’m not fully sure why. Maybe it was because I didn’t want to alienate anyone by saying who my favorite tennis player was. Or maybe I felt I would jinx Roger (which is what we call Roger Federer in our house) by writing about him. Whatever the reason, once Roger announced his retirement, I felt ready to write and put up a post about him. This post is definitely different than what I originally intended to write about years ago, but it is time. The end of an era I found out from my brother that Roger had retired. He messaged me the morning of the announcement. Not long later, my mom called. Everyone in my family knows Roger is my favorite tennis player and always has been. They wanted me to know what was going on. The funny thing is, I would have found out about Roger’s retirement all on my own had I checked the sports news. I was about to, then I thought the...

Season 7: Episode 2 One would think, once you find out a woman is unavailable, you would stay away from her. But not Will. He goes right back into her arms. Grantchester Season 7 Robson Green, Kacey Ainsworth Tom Brittney, Al Weaver Tessa Peake Jones, Nick Brimble The delusion of love After Reverend Will Davenport (Tom Brittney) finds out the truth about his love interest, Maya (Ellora Torchia), he’s not sure what to do with himself. He spends time alone, under a tree, smoking. Or at least that is what he is doing when Maya shows up again. After which they go to bed together, again. (Now you see why I said in the last post Will is acting like an idiot?) Will is now more certain than ever that he is in love. He makes plans about marriage and kids; two things Maya clearly does not want to talk about. What Will does not think about is the fact he is participating in infidelity. One would think a reverend would have at least a little hesitation about this, but I guess not. Nor d...

Season 7: Episode 1 Get ready for a season of men acting like idiots. Will especially. I don’t know where Reverend Will Davenport’s head is in this seventh season of Grantchester , but it’s not in a good place. Grantchester Season 7 Robson Green and Tom Brittney Geordie’s in trouble again DI Geordie Keating (Robson Green) is living at the vicarage now that his wife, Cathy (Kacey Ainsworth) has kicked him out of the house. Before this, he already spent a lot of time with Reverend Will Davenport (Tom Brittney). Now that they are living together, he spends even more. Except the time they spend together is not always spent doing something Geordie wants to do. Instead of going to the local pub Geordie is happy to go to, one night Will drags Geordie to a jazz club. This is definitely not Geordie’s scene. When Will ditches Geordie for a woman on the dance floor, Geordie is all too happy to ditch Will in return. It’s probably a good thing Geordie took off that night. He was schedul...
