This summer I am going to try some new things.  Tennis is first on my list.  My parents both played in the early to mid 80’s, played in leagues, ladders and tournaments and were pretty good from what I remember.  (My mom was also quite the fashionista of the times, wearing those ruffly little panties under her tennis whites!)

I never played tennis formally, but since I do have natural athletic abilities (just enough to get me by in most sports) I got the hang of it quickly and can hit reasonably well.

I have always wanted to play more and take a few lessons to get some basic skills under my belt.  The bottom line is that I have the power, but have absolutely no finesse.  None.  Same way with golf.  I can hit the heck out of the ball, but can’t putt to save my life.

But this year I found a gal I run with who will give me some lessons and I’ve wrangled some friends into the mix.  I mean if I’m learning to play, I want to have friends to play with.

I wonder if they still make those ruffly little panties??

Now go run!
