Well Played

I play tennis every Monday night in an instructional program called Tennis Kinetics, which is really just a fancy name for running around until you can't breathe while holding a racquet. Actually, there are plenty of solid players in this group and I'm probably the worst of the bunch, and that's the way I like it. We take over two courts and work on ball striking and movement skills for about an hour and then break into all kinds of fun games for another hour, usually finishing up with doubles.

My doubles partner last night was one of the teaching pros and we totally kicked ass. We high-fived after the final game and everyone complimented us on how well we played together.

It was like the thing with my wife and him a few years ago had never even happened.
