e-JACK-ulated!

It was 'hardcore' tennis this morning because of the threatening weather (the rain never materialized). But the weasels stayed in bed instead of welcoming the new Grandpa back to his familiar terrain. Reports have it that 'Slats' was cleaning the bathroom floor tile; 'Big Al' was making a Novena, 'NotEspn' was protecting his pumpkin from the squirrels, George 'the Teacher' was looking at his stopwatch at a track meet, 'King Gene' was scoping a HS football game...yada, yada... but where was Happy Jack? Out working on his game with TT, 'The Kraut' & 'The Chemist.' Hardy souls one and all. And work is what 'HJ" needs! The tandem of TT/Kraut was too much for Chemist/HJ, dropping both sets at 3 & 2, respectively. Kraut took HJ as his partner for the finale which was designated as "The Friends of Bill" set, and 'the reformers' played admirably coming back from a 5-2 deficit before succumbing at 6-4 to TT/Chemist. Leaving the court TT told HJ that "you have no court sense" to which Happy Jack replied, "TT you analyze me better than my psychiatrist, and the price is right with you... "HJ, you get what you pay for... afterall, you are a 'friend of Bill'... next meeting here Tuesday 3:00."
