A few careless matches we’re down to #2. I lost three matches in a row. OMG. With two more matches to go for all top three teams in our division, the current points are:
#3 and we have identical two teams to play against, in the same order. #1 is playing #3 tonight for the 9th match and their 10th match is against us.
The last three matches, we lost 1-2. A few pix on FB.
We opted to serve after the warm up. Michael started.
1-0
1-3
2-4
2-5
5-5
5-7
0-1
0-2
2-2
4-3
4-4 … then time’s up. A timed match.
At the last game point we had the advantage (the girl was serving). Michael hit a deep shot to the baseline that forced her to react. It’s a pop up
above the net. It didn’t look that it would cross the net. I yelled out ‘bounce’ because Michael has charged the net – at the net. The next thing I knew was our opponents said Mike has crossed the net so it’s their point. I was a little surprised but what they said surprised me even more as Michael was explaining to them that he did not strike the ball:
“Let’s not let this to ruin this match .. This match has been a good one .. ”
Did they jump to pacify us too quickly?
The towels is free to use in our club. And there are few members who need more than half a dozen towels all the time. Once I counted the high pile on the bench near her: 10. Not sure how and why would she need 10 towels but it seems to me a waste.
The club in our town was newly built, in 2006. I would have guessed that they would tailor it to fit… Like to install a chute to facilitate the towels, to reduce manpower. The dirty towels or used towels often piled high next to the clean pile during busier times, when the maintenance ladies failed to collect them in time. A chute that deposit the used towels to the washing room would greatly reduce manpower and traffic jams. Just a thought.
Since I’m at it, the bathroom doors could use an indicator if it’s being used. That won’t cost too much but convenience, would it?
Also the q-tip jar is always jammed. Have a little training and please fill it 80% so it is easy and hygienic for all.
Tuesday morning at the gym, the parking lot, as usual filled to the brim. I have to double park and left my key. One thing about valet parking is the attendant always like to move the setting around. The seat is back and the ac or heat is on the full blast. Sometimes the music …. Do they really have to do all of those for that short period of time they operate the auto?
According to Scholastic December 9, 2013 issue, National women’s push-up record is set in July by Samantha Myers in an Ohio high school. She’s a junior.
Our 7th match was played at Cityview. Its quiet, parking was easy because holidays are approaching. I was in a losing mood, so lost 1D at 3 and 2. On paper we won the match but we actually got less points. More pix on FB
The 52 points, from six matches 57 fm seven. We’re in the lead heading into the new year.
The second match of the month has a little crisis: one of player’s child is sick at the last minutes. But thank goodness for the devoted mates, Ron stepped in and up, won a third sweep. 1D and 2D are completed while the 3D is timed.
A normal day at the gym. Swimming pool was bit chaotic, with a woman so inconsiderate and the club manager seemed powerless to do anything about it.
