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.
R. Sharath Jois (1971-2024) was a yogi, yoga guru, practitioner and lineage holder (paramaguru) of Ashtanga Yoga, the grandson (thro his mother) of K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009), who created the Ashtanga (vinyasa) yoga – flowing style.
Played really well: 🎾 5-0, 5-2, 3-5
A good victory 🎾 赢的干净利落 [偷笑]

Coach Cornelius is very chatty, saying good morning to every passerby. The first time I stopped —or he stopped me for a chat after my swim —it lasted 25 minutes.
Big Bruce from VL has said repeatedly that he helped his daughter improve her game. I’ve been taking lessons from him on an ongoing basis.
Unfortunately, he doesn’t like to do video analysis, which I find very helpful.
Some tournements he ran:
… and the clinics
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.
The first hand of the night: 18 hcp. I bid 4♥️ and made the game.
Toward end of the (the 16th hands) night, I bid 3 NT and ended up winning a grand slam.
The evening went smoothly and I ultimately played the majority of the hands.
My question for the evening is, would you have to play a great hand with little thinking needed, or a even hand that requests some brain to win?

I get to swim at another springs!
This swimming area is at Rock Springs state park, (visit Florida) which is very close to Wekiwa. Because of current, many people and families come here to tube. Water is shallow and refreshing.
A water snake swam by me.
There is an outdoor shower with weak water, but it’s good enough for a quick rinse off.

Couldn’t have been any better than this!!! Clear springs at 72° temp year around – it’s heaven on earth. School of tiny fish is seen. Two park rangers walking by, I asked them about the distance to the bridge.
“Ehhh I don’t know. It’s not job requirement,” he joked. “Will add this one then,” he said.
… ok it’s 2025, where do you go to play?
I timed free and front crawl separately:
