Happiest I've been with my tennis today in a long time. Added a bit of lead tape at 12 o clock and serve was much better. Had a bunch of aces in winning 8-4 versus a guy who beat me the couple times we played two years ago. Additionally I felt like my agility was much better. Not sure if that's because of the 5 sets I played in the NM tournament or possibly the climbing machine. Just played a double continental. Mostly slice 2hforehand. Didn't even bother much with one handed. Really doubt it makes me any better. And pretty flat backhand. I really want to make the grip switch like Pancho Segura did with hitting a 2hbh on dominant side but I figure I should practice with a ball machine some first.

Won the 35 and over division but there was only one other guy in it... Hope to play at least 5 total tournaments this summer. So far have won 5 and lost 3. Not that that means anything at all.

There was something else but I don't remember now.

Love this time of year. Just getting dark at 9pm. So verdant outside. Bamboo grove is getting huge. Stupid deer eating all my pond plants. Having a son is so wonderful I worry it's a dream I will wake up from.
