Tennis

 Played tennis yesterday. Our former group of eight or ten souls who would take turns signing up to play - sometimes eight on two courts - has whittled down to four, on a good day. More often than not we are three, and we play a game we call cutthroat, in which the serving player (using a singles court) goes up against the other two, using the doubles court. Every game we rotate and each person serves once every three games. All I have to say about this is what I said on the court yesterday: "I have been playing this game for 39 years and I STILL haven't learned to watch the fucking ball!" It seems to be a common lament.
