Life is Grand!

Due to Sunday's inclement weather at Wimbledon, most of the group headed out after the second (or was it the third?) rain delay for the badminton competition at Wembley Arena.  Jason Titelbaum, Anthony Camardi, and Teddi-Jann Covell, however, decided to stick it out in hopes of seeing the resumption of play at the Djokovic-Fognini match, which was supposed to have been followed by Venus Williams' match against the Italian Sara Errani.

After Djokovic defeated Fognini, however, the women's singles competition was postponed to Monday due to darkness (since there are no lights on Court 1).

Instead of folding up their tent and skulking home, our intrepid trio schlepped over to Center Court to see if they could watch the action there under the roof. After inquiring at the Ticket Services Desk, our heroes emerged with tix to seats . . . at Center Court!

Talk about living a dream!  This photo of Jason was taken by the pairings board in front of Center Court before the first rain delay . . . but it must have been prophetic given the turn of events!
