I am at this resort,to give a talk tomorrow, and there’s a crowd watching a girl play tennis. Not surprising: it’s Anna Sharapova (sic?)…a leading pro these days and a startlingly beautiful woman.

And guess what she was doing? Having a tennis lesson! From her personal tutor, i’m sure, but clearly a tennis lesson all the same. And guess what? She’s already fairly good.

The modest moral: If good old Anna needs a lesson now and then, so do you and I. I took a couple of ski lessons last week and it was a huge difference. When I get home, I am going to set up a regular series of weight lessons. Hate it but gotta. You, me and Anna
