Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Today started off at 7:30 with four sets of tennis: 6-0, 6-1, 6-2, 6-0. My goal this entire week has been to win three straight sets at 6-0 but I can't seem to do it. Maybe tomorrow. The beautiful weather magnified the enjoyment of the beach and pool. I did try-out ...

Today started with tennis at 7:45. It seemed a bit cooler so my mom and I played three sets. 6-0, 6-1, 6-1. I'm down to one racket from three after breaking a string each day so far. Let's hope that trend doesn't continue! The squirrels here are really tame and photogenic. We ...

Seven Things

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Thanks to Paul Reinheimer for sneakily tagging me. I made it to the state tennis tournament 3 out of 4 years in high school. I read the entire DOS manual when I was 5. I've owned a house since I was 23. In 1993 and 1994 I saw every state in the U.S. and ...
