A fun match BUT no court wins!!!

Some of the many fans watching the court #1 match

We lost all three courts yesterday but really it was a fun day.  Our opponent, Beachwalk, were fun to play against but for sure they had 2 very good courts.  My #1 court played to a first set 6-6 and lost the tie breaker.  In their second set it again was 6-6 and again they lost the tie breaker but it did go into overtime at 6-8.  All in all it was a good day but chilly at 68 degrees and windy.

I could not sleep this morning so finally got out of bed at 3:15.  I opened up my e-mail and there in front of me was a note that made me second guess the wisdom of being a team captain😟.  No need to go into details BUT I suppose I should have seen some things coming.  When you are trying to set up a good team with friends it is bound to happen that either the friends or the team or both need to bend or get out of the way.  I guess in this one I need to make a decision as to what is most important going ahead towards the next season.  My bent would be to sit down and talk but in this situation I think it may not work.  SO by tomorrow I will make a decision and move on with life regardless of what comes of it.  Anyway to wrap tennis up for the morning we have one last match next week.  Word has it that we will play on astro-turf and it is difficult to say the least.

Wow, we are matching towards Easter quickly.  Eighteen days and counting but then it is only 19 days until I get this brace off for good I hope.  Talked to a guy yesterday who had the same injury way way back in the 60s and he just let it heal.  Things were different then.

On top of having to sit and watch tennis I have taken on a new thing and the saying, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" may apply here.  Will report at some later date because IF I fail in a big way I don't want to brag about it!!!

I poured most of my FP into a Yeti cup for my trip over to the courts later this morning but for now will sip my last half cup to the last drop.
