Revising Social Security

TennisTitan joined 'Big Al" DioDati, Frank 'Slats" Slattery, and Sab the 'Koide Kid' for three sets of doubles this beautiful May afternoon. TT and 'Slats' teamed to serve a quick bagel (6-0) to their elders in the opener. In sets 2 and 3 Titan paired with 'Koide Kid' to split the balance of this afternoon's play (6-2,2-6). Titan could not shake off the aches and pains from Saturday's play but had enough game to coast to an easy second set win. In the finale Sab's game fell considerably. 'Big Al' shook off the rust of a week's inactivity and took the measure of his elder counterpart. Titan's poor mobility was more than offset by 'Slats' consistent defense and hustle. As the foursome left the court, Titan was heard to remark to 'Slats,' Frankie, baby, so much for revising Social Security; we contributed more than enough to these geezers mental and physical health today, that they should be paying us!"
