Yesterday during work, I can’t remember when; sometime between the World Team Tennis flyer and making reservations for Laney’s 18u 3.0 team to stay in Jacksonville during the GA/FL challenger (yes, they are going! I know they came in third at state, but the number two team couldn’t go)….my cell phone rings. Only it’s not the you’ve got a phone call ring. It’s the you’ve got text, or pix ring. Being the dedicated employee I am, I did not stop whet I was doing to pick up my cell phone and investigate. No. I waited a full ten seconds - to finish typing, ya know before I snatched up my phone, gave my inbox a peek. Huh? What the heck is Adam doing sending me a pic? With the subject line: Federer. My fingers press the ‘open’ keys and this is what I see: Are you there? I type, already knowing the answer. How could I forget? That Adam would be running around NYC this week. In Flushing Meadows in particular...The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis center. Yes…I’m on 10 row. I am jealous I punch at the phone keys. Who are you with? Julie Luck-eee! I call my friend Clare leaving a voice mail how Adam is such a brat, making me envious of his U.S. Open trip. I know lots of people who are going. Let’s hope they are all send me pics. In this case, it feels good to be jealous! |
