Tennis Anyone?
My sister Becky is my ideal tennis partner. She's naturally more athletic, but I'm slightly more skilled (having played a year in high school). And we get really competitive with each other- even slightly taunting. So, I took the Ferry to Milwaukee Friday night for the express purpose of playing tennis on Saturday. We had an epic 3-hour battle yesterday... which I LOST in 3 sets. We also were asked to play doubles against two men in their 70's named Dick and Steve. They are part of a senior's social club that meets to play tennis. Most of the septuagenarian gang went to Culver's for lunch, but Steve and Dick wanted more action. As Dick told Becky and I, "I get my kicks on the court". So we played them... and lost.... BIG TIME. Steve and Dick beat us 6 games to 0. Steve was trying to give us pointers like, "you two should be moving like you're on a string. If one of you goes to the net, the other should drop back." Thanks Steve. Maybe we'll practice and have a rematch in another 5 years. That way, Dick and Steve will be 80 years old and perhaps beatable.

I love this. It reminds me of banana pants man at the AZ court house.
