I found out this morning that Monica Seles will be featured in the new season of Dancing With The Stars. Later today, I leaned that she'd retired this week. I thought she'd actually retired by now. Franny told me that she'd been training for a comeback. I wonder if she decided to retire the moment she got the TV offer. Besides being my all-time favorite tennis player, I've always thought she'd make a great pop culture presence and it might be fun watching the non-tennis watching world take to her if she makes a good showing. What's upsetting about all of this is that I feel compelled to watch Dancing With The Stars. Enjoyer of musicals and dancing that I am, I've tried to watch it and found I couldn't last a whole season.
This is sort of a boring post because I can't muster enough enthusiasm to say much more about that TV show. I'm sad that Monica is retiring but I felt for a while that her heart was no longer in it, even though she'd had some amazing moments in later years. I'm glad she'll be back in the spotlight in some way. I've posted this under, among other things, Patron Saints. Does she qualify, Franny?
