Interesting for sure!

The challenge is on.  We have our last tennis match of the winter today.  We play Huntington Lakes who are in first place by a point and we play at their place.  They do not have clay courts, which everyone else has but rather they have astro turf which is VERY different to play on.  Their home record, which includes matches against the second and third place team is 9-3.  So here we go, we have a chance to take on the best, on their funky courts and see what we can do.  We are currently tied for last place with a court record of 5-22  BUT 6 of our court losses have been match tie breakers.  We have not won a match tie breaker so the record is a bit misleading.  Anyway I have asked the guys to put on their BIG BOY pants and give it their best effort.  Win, lose or draw(well that is impossible) it should be a fun day.  That is for the guys on the court, for me well it is the last time I have to sit and watch a league match this season.  Sitting on the sidelines is not an activity that is fun!  It certainly would be fun to knock off the best, even if it was only 1 court but what the heck we will shoot for a clean sweep!!!  If we happen to go down on all three courts, but do so fighting, I can live with that.

I engaged in my new activity yesterday for the 5th time and I THINK I may be over the mental part and maybe on my way to having some fun, we will see as the weeks go by.  At 71 I may have just begun to live a bit!

We have had warm weather here with an 82 yesterday.  Only 70 today and then in the 80s after that for a few days.  Had a nice thunder, lighting and rain storm last night which was fun.  I sat near the pool and enjoyed the rain and the noise.  After it passed I went for a therapy swim for about half an hour.

I finished my FP with the Liam birch tree cup so will get on with the day now.  I have PT at 10:20 and Terry and I will go right from the hospital to the tennis match which is at 11:30
