Not Quite Federer Vs. Agassi but...

What the hell, Titan vs. "Flash" ain't so bad. TennisTitan concluded his series of matches against "CC Flash" on his January '05 Nuveen Seniors Tour in incredible fashion. Those of you who have enjoyed the recurrent opportunity to play against TT know full well that Two-Ton-Tommy always runs out of gas before his mouth does. Well, not today, mon ami (a little French lingo for my literate readers). Titan quite uncharacteristically managed the near impossible for him. A THREE SET (3, tres, drei, tre) Sweep of "Gentleman Jim" aka "CC Flash in our last scheduled meeting. After winning set 1 (6-3) in somewhat comfortable fashion TT had enough to hang in there and close out set 2 winning three straight games to take the set (6-3). "Flash," ever gracious to offer TT a third set in past meetings to enable TT to attempt to avoid a sweep, was given that same opportunity. Who would have thought that TT would prevail (7-5) by breaking "Flash" in the critical 11th game and serve it out successfully.

Many thanks to 'Flash' for his forebearance for my boorish on-court yabbering throughout our highly competitive matches. To celebrate our play we shall take my boat out tomorrow to fish a little, tell each other how wonderful we played, and stop for lunch dockside by a local "watering hole," if you get my drift (a little fishing lingo). I shall count my blessing throughout the entire day! See you back in New York next week.
