Blue skies on this Christmas Eve. The morning air is 55°, the water 81°, steam curling up from the swimming pool.
I warmed up quickly in the water, then headed to the court for battle.
After the match, I went to the pool to stretch and saw this group of birds in the sky: American white Pelicans (Turkey Vultures over Benchmark Int’l a few days later), and as if they’re in formation.
At court, it was a wonderful match, full of rallies and laughter—despite losing all three sets:
~ w/ Tammy, 4-6
~ w/ Sandi, 3-6
~ w/ Cheri, 3-6
A few videos show that I play softly and have fewer correct forms than during the practices:
~ warming up: forehand
~ the first game
~ the 2nd game
~ the 3rd game
~ where’s 4th game?
~ the 5th – a long game
