The sound of rain, a new lab manual and serve breaks

• Although I can't see a thing through the frosted glass of the windows at my office, I can hear the welcome pattering of raindrops.
• Having Joel tell me (via text messaging as usual) that he'll show me the lab manual he's currently revising once it gets printed.
  
• Watching a tight fourth round tennis match at Roland Garros between No. 2 seed Rafael Nadal and No. 24 seed and fellow lefty Thomaz Belluci. As expected Nadal breaks Bellucci's serve on not a few occasions. But what is surprising is that Bellucci immediately breaks back nearly all the time. Some fighter that Bellucci!
