Thursday, July 7, 2022 (Court Day #512)

I arrived at Skypark after work at about 6:40 p.m. Things were hopping and the lot was full. I set up a net with Matt then we warmed up and drilled together. After about five or ten minutes, Matt’s friend Paul showed up and I ended up in a game with David from Aptos against Matt and Paul. That was a pretty fun game and wasn’t too out of balance. David apologized afterwards for his errors, but heck, it was a warm-up game.

My next game is with fire fighter Matt Smith against Matt and Paul. We won thaf game fairly decisively.

Good Games

I played a number of games with Texas Mike against Dan, a strong player whom I played with on Tuesday, with René as his partner. Those are some pretty fun games. We split the games in that configuration, then René and I played against Mike and Dan. René and I took a big lead and they nearly tied up the game but René and I then wrapped it up winning 11-8.

Pendulum Up!

What a difference two days makes! I walked off the courts Tuesday night feeling really, really depressed about my skills. Tonight, I was playing extremely sharp, hitting very, very few shots into the net or out or too high. It was great. I’m very pleased.
