Oh my the good times keep on rolling!

OK so I felt my team could maybe win on all three courts but we came up a bit short.  We did win the match but came away with only two courts wins out of the three.  I would like to say I just am becoming a much better tennis player but that may be a bit premature.  Ron and I played court 1 and fell in the first set 3-6.  I actually felt we would win the second set and in game 2 the momentum shifted in our favor and we went on to win 6-3.  They tended to come in close to the net after a shot so Ron and I lobbed several times which changed the entire game.  After going ahead 5-1 we finally prevailed 6-4.  So that meant, for the fourth consecutive match, I was going into a 10 point match tie breaker.  Ron and I started like gang buster by going ahead 6-0 but tennis is tennis and often things tend to even out.  We lost the next 4 points which meant we were only ahead 6-4.  We kind of went back and forth from there and finally won 10-7.  I do not know if I am temping fate but that is 4 straight match tie breakers and 4 wins.  I will take it and hope the law of averages does not catch up with me soon.  My team is now 7-2 in matches which is great.  I will have to wait until next Wednesday to see if we can keep things going.

I will fly out tomorrow for Grandma's funeral.  It will be a short trip as I fly early afternoon tomorrow and come back Monday AM.  MANY family will be there so I am actually taking my 35MM camera for many pictures.

Naples weather continues to be great.  Highs are in the high 70s and the skies are sunny so life is good.

We are waiting for the results of the two MRIs that Terry had over the weekend.  It would be great to hear that all is well.  No idea when the Dr. will call but I would think soon.

Not much else to say today.  I need to finish doing the little packing I will do for the trip and that is about all for the day.  NO tennis today and no tennis for a few days.  I think the time off will be good for the body.  My next court time is Tuesday so I will see if the rest is good or if I become rusty!  I may have to have a double dose of FP tomorrow as I will go a few days without it.  Today, I certainly had it and as usual it was great.
