September's Passing

It's the last day for Curt before he flees to Arkansas to avoid the nasty Minnesota winter. The tennis group assembled at a Caribou coffee house this morning in Mendota to wish him Godspeed. Most of us are retired so we lingered for a couple of hours as we talked over the season and seasons past. We also solved a few of the world's more vexing problems. Then we decided that it was warm enough to play a couple of more sets before Curt left town, and thus scheduled a four o'clock match. A last chance for fun before September flees.

So we played three sets, changing partners after each set. We played until the light began to get iffy. The third set went to 7-5 and then we were done. I had my camera and decided to get a photo of the four geezers in attendance, I took a couple shots of the other three, but there were two guys playing on the other court. One guy offered, "Can I take the picture so all four of you can get into it?" And I let him take the photo below. The other guy on the other court then spoke up, "Can I take the picture so all five of you can get into it?" A witty guy who gave us a chance to laugh. And we did.

The Geezer Tennis Association guys in the photo are : TT, Dennis, Curt, and Bill H.



Curt leaves tomorrow morning and plans to drive straight through 830 miles to his retirement place outside Little Rock.
