HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROGER!!

Today, August 8 2008, 8.8.08, is Roger Federer's 27th Birthday and it seems to be an extremely special one. Carrying your country's flag in the opening ceremony of the Olympic games is quite a birthday treat. Not to mention having your birthday on a day considered to be extremely auspicious by the Chinese. I wish Federer a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and lots of luck for the upcoming games.
