When I took Charlie to the W. O. Riley Park on Monday, the parking lot was full and the tennis courts were busy. Students were playing, apparently in a tournament. Families were there watching.
It was a nice day for tennis: Not too hot. I still remember taking tennis lessons as a young teen, and it was summer and very hot. I walked home with my brother with sweat pouring into my eyes. I finished the series of lessons, but decided not to pursue the sport because I didn’t like getting sweaty.
Used to play a lot of tennis. Should get back into it.
ReplyDeleteNice. I had four tennis courts no more than 50 meter from home as a kid, so I played a lot.
ReplyDeleteI played on and off when I was young, but never got serious about it. If there was a choice between whacking balls around or exploring in the woods you can guess which I chose.
ReplyDelete...if I played today, I might fall on my nose!
ReplyDeleteI concur, but did spend hours sweating and whacking balls. Then I found racket ball was more fun...more whacking maybe? Then I found my ankles didn't like pounding on anything anymore.
ReplyDeleteTennis was never my thing.
ReplyDeleteGood sport though for those who like it.
Never really played much. I'm with you... too hot in the summer months!
ReplyDeleteNever tried it, kinda wanted to learn in early 30s but never got around to it.

Bought a tennis racket for gym class. We never had a lesson. I wonder what happened to the racket?
