They always in pairs. Tennis courts and swimming pool in the early morning
Left forearm hurts
The lower part of my left arm hurts so much, I quit at 5-5 in the first set.
serve 1
… and serve 2
… and four big birds sandhill cranes
3-0, and the longest rally
A tiring but sweeping day on court: 5-3 (Matt & I came from 0-3, v Jim ), 5-3 and 5-4, both with Grey def. Hope & VJ.
During the 2nd set, Hope and I have the longest rally in my little life, about 20+, with most were hit to my forehand, and I ultimately won with him hitting to my forehand and out. I really took my time and turned.
My serve … it’s ok. I practiced toss, till my forearm hurts.
The swimming pool is at its fullest after a heavy rain yesterday.
Yoga @ Water Gardens
1502 Commerce St.
Fort Worth, TX
A neat little garden in the city. On this hot Thursday, it’s particularly soothing.
According to wiki, the Fort Worth Water Gardens, built in 1974, is located on the south end of downtown Fort Worth between Houston and Commerce Streets next to the Fort Worth Convention Center. The 4.3-acre (1.7 hectare) Water Gardens were designed by noted New York architects Philip Johnson (1906-2005) and John Burgee (1933-).
Yoga in Bass Hall
During the intermission at Van Cliburn 2025 piano competition concert #3 @ Bass Hall, I did a little yoga in our booth.
Bye SLC
The pool at hotel is never empty at 5:30 but at 7, it’s mostly empty. So can I interpret that swimmers generally have a healthy life style – that we get up early -:)
Little America, Salt Lake City
500 Main St,
Salt Lake City, UT 84101
Little America has two pools: one outdoor on the ground, and one on the second floor in the main building, which is half inside and half outside, which also have two jacuzzis.
In the morning around 7, I’ve the pool on the second floor all to myself. Oddly, it opens from 4am to 11pm. In the evenings, it can be crowded and noisy with kids, teens and women.
The lockers in women’s change room have digital locks but I don’t think they’re working. The change room has no shower.
Bridge: Boston
Just learnt one more thing: Boston = bottom of something top of nothing.
Out of total 17 hands, I played 6: won 4 lost 2. Got two robbers with two different partners. Nothing too memorable except three hands, happened to be winning:
Hand 1: I’ve a grand of 4 hcp, which I should not have responded at all… but I did, to the calling of my P’s ♠️:
… the bid:
| R1 | R2 | R3 | |
| My RH opens | P | 2H | 4H |
| me | P | 2S | P |
| My LH | P | 3H | P |
| My P | 1S | 3S | 4S |
… Long story short, my parter made the contract of 4 ♠️.
Hand 2: forgot my own 1C contract… thought Spade was the trump.
Hand 3 – the last hand. All we need was 40 points, which meant 2C was just right. For some reason, I thought we needed 3C – 60 point. So I said 3C. Helllllloooo can’t you do the simple math? Guess NOT. Luckily, my partner ended up making 4.
大脑进水的一晚. 17手俺没有啥好牌, 不过打了6 手: 4赢2输. 四赢中的2手难忘
- 4分俺也敢出声 有木有搞错呀
- 叫了♣️, 以为 ♠️是主
- 最后一手牌: 我们只需要40分. 2C正好.不知怎么的,我以为我们需要3C—60分. 信誓旦旦那种. 喂,你算术还给老师了 – 不会摆掰着手指算一下吗?
