teri ~ why don't you play tennis ?

(i dunno why but it surprises me you don't play fanatically)

edit ~ actually anyone who watches tennis, it amazes me that you don't play tennis.

LMAO. I do play some. My boys were on a tennis kick for a while and we went to the courts a lot for a couple of summers, but my eyesight is for shit. I was in a car wreck years ago that caused a traumatic cataract. I had surgery, and you can't tell by looking at me, but my focus and depth perception is terrible now. At least that's my excuse for why I suck so badly, and I'm sticking to it.

I was actually thinking about taking some tennis lessons this summer. I was pretty decent when I was a teenager, and I'd love to be able to play again. If I took some lessons and got the basics down, I might be able to compensate for it.

I bet you're a shark who plays to win every point, aren't you?

i love to rally ~ i'm like the human backboard because i can hit it to you as easily as i can hit it away from you.

we rally mostly but i usually almost always win when we play a real set at the end. i have 3 male tennis partners.

Poor guys. That's what irratates me about playing with my 16 yo. He insists on hitting the winner every shot. It's not much fun if you don't get some good rallies going.

Shit! How cold was it this week when you played?

i'd rather hit it to you and try to win by making you a better player ~ find an age equivalent or you know a little younger lol.

well yesterday it was a balmy 6 above (roughly 46 i think)

and today i could see my breath so zero here or 32 ish american.

it was great
