Sigh. It was hard watching Agassi play his last match at Wimbledon. At least he went down to someone who is an upcoming star. Just as Johnny Mac said about Andre, when Agassi retired McEnroe from the sport. Nadal is already conforming his clay game to grass with frightening ease, so perhaps we have a new shaggy haired giant on the rise. And one who is taking his game a lot more seriously at such a young age, than Mr. A did two decades ago. Two decades…and it went by in a blink. Good-bye, Andre…thank you for so many memorable contests. On all surfaces. You’ll be sorely missed on this one, my friend.

So this morning I am shipping my youngest off all the way to California and my oldest is out and about, so I am officially an empty nester for a week. Whatever will I do?

Heh heh heh.

Alright, alright, now. How about a brand spanking new SHaQ Attack Monday? Hmm….what should the theme be……?

I say, it should be Wimbledon, given we’re in second week of my favorite slam event. What’s that? I have a book set at Wimbledon? As a matter of fact, I do!

So, your task this week is an easy one. The answer is on my site. Promise! (Two clicks from here. Two clicks. If you know what to click, that is… )

Answer the question: How old was heroine Tess Hamilton when she won her first championship?

Just send your answers to donna@donnakauffman.com with “I Got It!” in the subject line. We’ll have one winner this Friday, selected from all the correct entries. Winner receives a signed copy of NOT SO SNOW WHITE (which, yes, would be the Wimbledon book…) or a book of her choice from my bookshelf if she’s already raced out and bought it.

Happy hunting and Happy Monday, all!
