The Never-Ending Ramblings...

Super Fantastic

Got a few minutes before I leave for JDS to put four matches on. Unfortunately, the 8.0 Men’s Doubles is starting at eight. Two of them have USTA league matches. I say forfeit them! (No. Not really) But do I look like I wanna spend four hours outside in the blistering cold watching four grown men whack the ball across the net? In truth, I do. Especially this match. Okay, so the whole entire weekend, I said the ‘super fantastic’ line. Everyone thought it was funny. And just a little while ago, Andy, one of the 8.0 players calls me on my cell.

Earlier this morning, I call Andy to let him know we really want to play this match today, not Sunday. He asks me how I’m dong and I say, “Fine.” It’s early in the morning, my caffeine buzz has not kicked in.

“Just fine?” he asks “Oh, c’mon. You can do better than that.” He has heard me say the S/F phrase all w/e.

“Give me thirty minutes.” I tell him. He allows me this grace period.

Later today, he calls back, checking on the status of tonight’s go time/date, “Are we on tonight?” He wants confirmation.

“I still have to hear from Viktor.” I say

Viktor is on his team, so he tells me he is gonna get his cell number, since Viktor has not responded to two of my emails. He wants to play.

“You know, I am accrediting my 3.5 win to the Super Fantastic Attitude.” I am flattered.

“Well thank you.” I say sweetly.

Shortly, I am able to contact Viktor, and he agrees to play. I call Andy back.

“I have super fantastic news.”

“No way.”

“Way.”

“That’s awesome.” He says.

So, its pretty cool, that at least one person was positively affected by my S/F thing.

I’m having more and more positive feelings about my February 4th trip to Destin.


ps...I'm still in yucky pain. but, I'm super fantastically okay with it.
