Damn I'm sorry. I have been going through some things this week, my spinal cord injury rarely bothers me, but this week it has been awful. My emotional well being was well left of center and I needed a few days to pick up the pieces. I am still a bit twisted, but Rollingpix needs work, so here it is, a MEGA update,enjoy.
Wheelchair Tennis - Nottingham (GBR)Indoor Tour.
All the main seeds are safely through to the quarter finals of this U.S. $11,000 dollar event. Here are some results.
- Briton's No.1 Jayant Mistry wins 6-0, 6-1 over his countrymen Tony Knappett
- World No.1 Michael Jeremiasz (FR) wins 6-2, 6-1 over Kevin Plowman (GBR)
Michael is going for for a three-peat of consecutive titles, and at this tournament has played Jayant, the seven time winner, three times. Michael won in 2004, 2003, and I anticipate him winning this year as well. He leads the former No.1 David Hall (AUS) by 88 points.
- British No.2 Jamie Robinson wins 6-0, 6-4 over Swiss Carlos Tresch
This is a big tournament, hosted by the British Lawn Tennis Association. I am glad it's indoors because it has got to be frigid in Nottingham now. Damn it is! A high of 13 celsius, that's 55.4 fahrenheit. BRRRRR.

Farr One Design Invitational Regatta "Cancelled!"
Miami, Florida
Nov.3-6th
Stagg Yachts, together with the Farr 40 and Mumm 30 class associations, have decided to cancel the 2005 Rolex Farr One Design Invitational due to the conditions in South Florida following Hurricane Wilma. Originally scheduled for November 3-6 in Miami's South Beach, the regatta was also set to double as the Mumm 30 North American Championship. That regatta will now take place during Key West Race Week. (Jan. 16th-20th. 2006) "There are too many issues with getting boats launched, not knowing when power and water will be restored, when curfews will be lifted, gas stations open and the residents of the area recovered from the damage incurred to proceed," said Stagg Yachts President Geoff Stagg.
