Parting is such SWEET SORROW

These are the words Titan will hear in his head as he tools down I95 on Monday as he rejoins the Florida Southern Seniors Tour for the the next three weeks. Titan managed to get (5) five sets of doubles in this day, introducing Jean 'the computer analyst' Victor (ironic, huh) to the bombast and banter that flavor all TT's matches. Titan warmed up with a few games of Canadian with George 'Chemist' and Frank 'Slats' before he and 'Slats' met the winners of the first match on Court 1. 'Computer Analyst'/Happy Jack had managed to eke out a 7-6 victory against 'Big Al' Dio Dati and 'Spindley Legs' Gessemer. However, they were no match for the tandem of TT/'Slats' as a bagel was served in 20 minutes (6-0). 'Big Al'/'Chemist' fared only slightly better dropping the first four games before bowing respectably (6-3). The duo of Titan/'Slats' continued their roll as they ran through 2 sets against 'Chemist'/'HJ' at one and two (6-1, 6-2). 'Slats' threw the 'Chemist' a bone in the finale, asking the Bunsen Burner, "Georgie, you carry the Titan this last set. I got to get ready for my afternoon matches at Amackassin. And nobody over there makes me look as good as I do here when Titan says to me, 'Just play defense, Frankie.' Needless to say, 'Slats' defense was not enough with HJ providing the offense as the Amackassin Duo fell before 'Chemist'/TT (6-2). Titan was heard to comment to 'Slats' as they left the yard, "how was that for therapy, Frankie?"
