What you get in Naples

All is well in Naples.  The flowers are wonderful, the weather is warm (80's) and the sun is bright! 
Not much news here.  We are having HOT weather for November as the temps have been about 5-8 degrees above normal.  That means that in a 7:30 tennis match a person can wring out water from the bottom of your shirt by 8:00.  I am enjoying the competition of tennis.  I played a bit of racket ball in the early 80's and some softball in the early 70's but mostly my focus was working and trying to make sure things were all right with family.  Probably to a fault but there are no regrets, however my current tennis has been a breath of fresh air.  I am beginning to realize that, everything equal, the guy who has played tennis for many years is way ahead of someone who picked up a racket for the first time after collecting SS!  But it is fun and the exercise is great.
I have yet to get into the winter mentality.  I have not started a book, I have not gotten my fingers on the guitar and I still have many loose ends to tie up with papers etc.  But, it will happen.
I have not thought allot about my book.  Sister Joan has not called for any books for some time now so sales are stale!!!  I have not experienced a line at our door here to buy the book either.  I have hopes that at least ONE guy will want one!
My tennis team, well it is a bit more work than I would like but in the end it is a fun thing.  We have our first home match Monday.  My goal is to get everyone up to a new level of play, will it happen?  Of course the main focus is and should be on fun and I think that is happening.
No, time to get to work as the FP is history.
