又一个雾晨
完结的快 someone needs to be kicked out [闭嘴][偷笑]
每次那个男娃总是输
还总是来
…
李鸿章还是曾国藩说
百输 还是永输不服 还是啥啥啥的 [可怜]
…
得 咱就这二根葱 [闭嘴]
俺回家歇着吧
Thursday, Dec 26: 5-2, 5-3, 5-4. Both days I got #1 at pill. Today is a blue sky. Graham, Bruce and Pete. The 2 in the first set were my two serve games … I got off to a terrible start. … but over all, the Christmas time is a good week for me.
这星期 二次抓号 都是1 [偷笑] 巧合
… 第一局的2 都是俺发球 [嘘] 别提了
第二局和B. 赢了一个game 俺戏说 “行了 咱们不会吃🥚了”
B “Irene 我们会赢的.”
第三局 和已经输了二局的男搭档
“Irene, pick me up 俺想赢一局.”
[偷笑]
…把自己说成救世主似的
歇菜
好消息 群主今天来探班 – 前几个月刚刚换了❤️ 还是 肾[Worship] 仍然还是这群男同胞里最帅的一个
MSG: Navarro & Pegula
Two billionaires’ daughters, Emma Navarro (2001-; 2015, $3m) and Jessica Pegula (1994-; 2009, $16m) met at Garden Cup @ Madison Square Garden.
Both girls did well in 2024, are well liked and quiet.
The shower door
3-5 (resumed the set at 3-4), 5-1, 4-1 (time runs out …)
Another messed up day – I went to the wrong location, again. The threesome (Bruce, Al and Greg) found another player, who is graciously bowed out when I arrived. Thanks Bob.
I promptly went to work, and heard the score wrong – thought we were up. Oh well.
While I was in the shower at clubhouse, a Chinese put her stuff on the locked door. It’s so o-d-d.
A dragonfly by the pool
Played really well: 🎾 5-0, 5-2, 3-5
A good victory 🎾 赢的干净利落 [偷笑]
👇 这是啥东东呀?
A good match, a good swim
A pretty competitive match with two Gregs and Jim: 4-5, 5-2, 5-4. GJ lost all three sets.
I started the day in the dark, and served first in all 3 sets.
The first set, GJ and I lost first 6 points, won the 7th and lost the 8th. There went 0-2. GJ held his serve but we lost the 4th game. It was a pretty good come back.
This month, I swam 26,560 yards / 15.09 miles in 660 minutes, which equals to 43’73” per mile. … with two hurricanes in between: Helene and Milton.
85th birthday
A friend’s mom is turning 85 today!
8am tennis: I played well but came up short. NJ, Graham, George: 5-0, 3-5, 3-5. It was a really nice game.
Did 200 swim / stretch after tennis. This morning was pretty cold, smell of autumn!
Bluey day
An all bleu day: the 2024 Atlantic hurricane that cancelled our Thursday game, had just passed. But the rains are keep coming. It rained today as we were finishing up the second match.
7-6 (7-3) Ivy/me, vs a mixed team
6-0 Jen/me vs Ivy/John
Jen is a really good younger player, with pleasant voice and mean back hand that travels low.
Tue I lost all three short set with 3 Gs: Gary, Greg and Greg.
Yesterday the pool was closed till 11am. The deck was cleared out but the bistro was open. However, the lunch for the tennis group was rather tasteless. Not a complain …
Half moon
A week after Mid-Autumn Festival – the fullest of the year, the moon reduced to half. It’s a pretty sight as I’m swimming -:)
Tennis: 3-5, 1-5, 1-5 … with two doubles in the 3rd set.
What was I doing out there?
- 9.30 did two 100 before leaving: back 2:41:32, free 1:41:58
Before Dawn 7:30am tennis
🎬 Before Dawn (2024) 关于一战的故事…
By September, the sun rises after 7am. 7:30 start is cutting close. But I really like early mornings: fresh and quiet. Watching the skies brighten up is wonderful. 为生活 俺也起早贪黑
7-5, 2-6
第一局从0-3, 1-4 追回来的
第二局 还没站稳 就输了
My string is rarely broken: multiple years for a restrung. This time, a neighbor Dave did it – it’s the most beautifully one I’ve had. All for $25 -:) 新线 🧵 所有过的中 数这个最漂亮 (照不出来)
好用吗 – 不知道 [捂脸]
