Tennis, Anyone?




I got to play tennis today with one of my friends from work (Mori) and his wife (Hong Mai). It was great, but I am out of shape. I hope my arm does not fall off tomorrow! It's been cold here, but predicted to be 55 in the afternoon today. I woke up hearing the wind whistling around my appartment, so I though it would not be a great day for tennis. Turns out the court is owned by the research institute where Hong Mai works and it was free for us to use. Cool!
I liked this court, never seen anything like it. It was like really short astroturf and sand. Played a lot like clay, and easy on my old knees. Turns out Mori and I are pretty equal in ability, so it was really fun. Hong Mai is a beginner, but she can play - certainly can get to the net faster than I can. By the time we got to the courts the wind had calmed down a little and the sun tried to come out. Perfect conditions for me because I don't like it when it is too hot. Right when we stopped, it started snowing and the wind was bad again. Talk about perfect timing!

Mark-San,
You look great! I especially like the Blackbeard's t-shirt.
