tennis, life and a few things in between

I finally went to acupuncture for my left arm, since early June. At registation, the sheet asks for two problems – I guess they only treat two prolbem per visit?

Dr. Scott is a Caucasian in his 40s (?), sporting a crew cut, he’s personable, asks about my problems and the history of my health, inlcuded if I’ve acupuncture before. (Yes, in NY) I’ve three problems but he said, he’ll do the first two, and leave the third for next time.

He said he leart his craft in Chicago. When he looks for a spot to insert the needle, he uses his fingers to measure. I debated if to kid him – like – “hey Dr, do you need a measuring tape?!”

After the needles were inserted, my NY acupuncture would have his staff to connect the stumulant machine – electroacupuncture – to each or many of the needles with the clips, then left me for the next 15 minutes or so.

Dr. Scott uses a handheld gadget that clearily need some TLC or cajoling – perhaps a new battery? He did ask me if I’ve used electroacupuncture before, I said yes and described the above scene. He said he has the large machine with clips too. Whatever works, I guess?

Waiting at doctor’s office, to get needled.

So we were down 0-3 and I was serving underhand at 30-40, and double fault. I don’t know underhand serve can make a mistake. But that’s me. I didn’t know why did we lost four straight games and have no idea how we won the next six.
The second set with Matt, I was serving at 1-2 and lost the game. From 1-3, we claw back to 5-4 but Matt failed to serve it out. Oh well.

Monday laugh: I didn’t know sweat from arms could trickle down to my palms. Today I constantly dry my palm but next minute, I find not only my hands were sweaty/wet but my tennis racket handle is wet  … laugh all you want – I’m laughing too.

周一笑料:我都不知道胳膊上的汗会流到手掌上.今天我一直擦干手掌,但下一刻就发现,不仅我的手出汗了,连网球拍柄都湿了… 想笑就笑吧 —我也笑弯腰了. 听说人钝是无药医的.

Me 钝? 不可能  哈哈哈

在针灸办公室等着被扎

早上我们0-3落后,轮到我发. 30-40时用下手发球, 然后双误. 我不知道下手发球会犯错😹 但这就是我. 我不知道我们为什么连输四局,也不知道接下来的六局是怎么赢的.
第二盘我和马特搭档,我1-2发球时,又没有hold 住.从1-3开始,我们追到5-4,但马特没能hold: 5-5. 然后有人坚持不住了 – 好热.

So, the British tennis player – wild card – Harriet Dart (1996-; 2015, $2,891,681) becomes overnight sensation due to her comment on her opponent Lois Boisson (2003-; 2021?, $127,741) at R32, “… Can you tell her to wear deodorant, … she smells really bad …” @ 2025 Ope de Rouen: she lost to the French, 0 and 3.

Rouen is a small city on the Seine river, in the NW corner of France, population 116,331. It’s a WTA 250 tourney (April 14-20), winner takes home $275,094, which is far better than the Sarasota Open.

• NYT: Harriet Dart apologizes after requesting opponent wears deodorant: ‘She smells really bad’

The sunrise

Ok, back to my game today, w/ John, Kurt and Ken: 0-5, 5-3, 4-5

~ 0-5: I lost 3 tie breaks
~ 4-5: we were 4-1 … then at the last point, I double faulted … the two courts certainly adds uncertainty

Seriously?!? 💩 deodorant woman

她告诉裁判员 她的对手需要用除臭剂

这28岁的🇬🇧网球员终于出名了

昨天我吃了一🥚
0-5, 5-3, 4-5
挺郁闷的
… 0-5 输了三个tie break
… 4-5 从4-1 开始… 然后最后一决胜负的俺发球是 double 😹🙀😿
…
不过这28岁的除臭妞应该更…
