The Never-Ending Ramblings...

LIghts Out

The lights when out at the tennis center last night. Not my tennis center, the other public one, where I just so happened to be playing my match, just so happened to totally win one of my service games! I mean, I was ON my serve. My serve won every point that game1 (this has never happened to me) I was hitting my volleys pretty good too. Down the middle, you know those shots when both players think the other player is going for the ball and neither of them does – those volleys.

Not all the lights when out, so we decided to keep playing, thinking it wouldn’t matter. Oh, boy, were we wrong. I totally blew my next service game. It’s kinda hard to hit the ball if you can barely see it. (/what an idiot I was to keep going too.) I should have just stopped right there. Finally, after losing two games, I called it quits. We rescheduled for tonight. We are up in the first set 5 games to four. I called Robbie; he’s gonna hit with me, work on my poaching skills, volley reviews.

Melanie is serving. Four points and we win the set. Then, six games and we win the match. Tonight, at five-thirty at my tennis center – I will be ON MY GAME! I will key in the scores as a Bateman win!

Now, if I get my body to do what my mind is telling it.
