Yes sir, that is me and that is how I feel this morning!!! I think I must be among the best tennis players in the world. I have now won my first 2 matches which makes me undefeated for the year! "For sure" I am going places in the tennis world! Wait a minute, I think I just had a dream!!!
OK now for the truth. Yes, I am 2-0 in league play in 2020. BUT perhaps I should add that I have played against mediocrity opposition and that is "for sure". After winning Tuesday on court #3 against a team that was a 2.5 at best I won again yesterday. Yes, I did actually play court #1 on a 3.0 level team yesterday with Ron as a partner. As I have said in the past Ron can cover almost the entire court with ease and did so yesterday. We won 6-1 and 6-2 and really it could easily have been 6-0 and 6-0. I am absolutely positive that I will not play against a team like that the rest of the season. So yes the first paragraph was a dream and as most of us know dreams are often what we wish or want and not what really is. I would say that I am a better tennis player today than a year ago but still at the age of 73 (almost) if I were standing among 100 guys my age on the court I would be closer to the top than the bottom but actually not all that much! Still a win is a win and yesterday was fun. WHY NOT LIVE THE DREAM FOR A WHILE??? My team won 2 of three courts so we won the match. On court #3 my players were down 1-5 in the first set and came back to win 7-5 BUT then they ran out of gas and lost the match in a tie breaker.
Terry and I host our first villia party this afternoon. It is a bring an item to share. We are doing a turkey so I need to figure out when to put it in so that it is done by 4:15 with the party at 4:30. "For sure" not a good idea to bring a turkey that is not finished cooking or the other way to bring a turkey that is over done! We bring the tables, siliverware etc. and then go over early to set everything up. We do 3 or 4 events a winter and it seems like people enjoy them. I have tennis at 9:00 so will bring things over after that BUT first I need to google "turkey on the Traeger grill" to make sure I have my timing right.
Naples has wonderful medical facilities BUT at this time of the year they are so so busy. Terry had a Dr. appointment yesterday and the Dr. wants a couple of MRI pictures. The earliest they could schedule them was 11 and 12 days out! I mean there are many places that do MRI images and I am sure they can do many many a day and still that far out.
We are looking at a cool down weather wise. Next Tuesday and Wednesday we will have highs in the mid 60s. I am guessing the pool heater goes off again. It is so so nice to jump in the pool for a short while after tennis but when one has visions of the meter going around really fast it kind of takes the fun out of it.
Word came out that Grandma Saunders seems to be failing healthwise. She has had several episodes of being unresponsive and it seems that the end could be near. Her 99 birthday will be February 6th so will she make? The family is planning a birthday party for her February 1st. Of course we never want to lose a loved one BUT in Grandma's case she has wanted to enter into eternal life for some time now. I guess Deb has been by her side the last couple of days. Lord, for Grandma's sake, please take her soon.
Enough for today. I have not eaten breakfast yet but my FP is almost gone so will sign off.
