Another Day at the Office

TT had that irresistable urge to compete at Kinsley the day following the strenuous sets against 'King Gene.' "It's Tuesday", he thought, "soon the guys will mostly be back at work, the nice weather will be over and I'll be looking forward to less frequent opportunities to play...what the hell, a light work out will get the aches out - maybe?" So TT arrived to complete the foursome; Sab, George 'The Teacher' and Big Al were warmed and ready to go. TT and Big Al quickly fell behind 3-Love but rallied to put the match back on serve. This 75 minute first set went to the tie breaker wherein TT/Big Al took the set 7-6 (7-4). "Happy Jack" Carey and new addition, Jim Devine proved less of an obstacle in set two as they quickly fell to George "The Teacher" and TT... as a matter of fact a bagel was served prior to the dinner hour.

Upon arrival home TT heard the voice of his favorite challenger when he answered the phone while dropping his tennis bag as he flopped into his Lazy-Boy; it was Rich "Prez" Prezioso. Tomorrow's match is scheduled for 2 pm on the Briarcliff clay. Will TT have the stamina to match his heart to do battle a third consecutive day? You bet I will!
