Jerry's Team

This is the picture of the team featured on the Northern Section web site as reported by Mr Moohoo in his blog. Jim and Carol in the front row, Terry, Becky, Heidi and Dave in the middle row, Bob, Barb, TT and Jerry in the back row. A couple of players were not there for the photo. The resolution is not very good, but it's what I have at the moment.

The rules say that teams that go to the national tournament must break up the following year, but are allowed to keep three players from the nationals team. It's a shame to have to break up the team, but rules are rules.

It was a cool day in Minnesota. The GTA played doubles at a new park today, because Marie Park was in use. After trying a couple of Mendota Heights high schools and finding them filled with high school girls tennis teams practicing for the season, we found a public park empty and played a couple of hours of pretty good tennis. The geezers were tough tonight and my record was not as good as usual, but again, no one got hurt or into a fight. The move to indoor tennis is just a couple of weeks away.

I came home, had a bison burger for dinner (cooked by PP), and watched some US Open tennis on ESPN2. Venus hurt her knee and was nearly upset by a Russian woman before winning in the third set. It should be a good couple of weeks of tennis at the Open.
