Back on TOP

Yesterday afternoon marked my third straight tennis victory. I had played E.Shrew and Evil Twin brother in a "tournament style" play over the weekend and won handily. How do we play our tournament? We play winner stay up... and the first one to win 10 games "wins the "tourny". After that victory snapped a two game losing streak, I then waxed Whipping Boy 6-3, 6-3 in consecutive sets. Yesterday, E.Shrew and Whipping Boy were my tournament foes. I won pretty easily: 10 wins (Me), 3 wins (E.Shrew), 1 win (Whipping Boy).

So, I am back on TOP of my game. I hope to play some singles and doubles matches while in New Orleans celebrating Mardi Gras. I am traveling to Houston next weekend for stroke lessons with my excellent tennis coach Tim. I also hope to play Brian D. on Saturday and Sunday. He is the guy that knocked me out of the Houston tournament last year. We played again in Dallas a couple months ago, and Brian D. barely squeaked by. Will the third or fourth time be the charm? I count Brian D. as a good barometer because he has to be the favorite in our class for the upcoming Austin Tournament.

Three weeks to go until Austin. I need to get off my lazy ass and start doing cardio pretty much everyday. My goal is to drop 8 pounds of belly fat. I want to be lean and MEAN for the Austin Tournament. I can't hustle on the court when I got this much jiggly stuff around my midsection!
