176 Years!!!!!!

On Friday we had ping pong at the community center. I have been trying to improve so I can better compete with this talented group of players. I even went so far as to have a self-imposed practice session to work on my game. A sort of bad imitation of Forrest Gump.

I headed into Friday's matches with renewed confidence in my game and left at low ebb. We play doubles matches, which is harder than you think and requires a bit of teamwork. My partner and I faced the two oldest guys in the league. Dean is 92 and the "younger" guy, Rudy, is 84. Dean and Rudy proceeded to annihilate us in a 2 out of three game match. Out of two dozen times or so that Rudy has served to me over the past two weeks, I have returned exactly 4!!!! Yikes! Hard to believe but those two guys can really play!

I keep telling you that I am a good player but obviously you don't believe me now. Maybe I can sneak some video of these guys so you can see for yourself!

Lots of walking, swimming, and helping the neighbor install awnings on his coach over the weekend. At the pool I found an earring. Took it to the Monday morning coffee session to see if I could find Cinderella. It dawned on me that perhaps I might meet Cinderfella! Found the owner and she was grateful.

Saturday had a date for the movies and saw "Run the Race". Enjoyed that and then headed for Bianca's for dinner. Bianca's is special!
