And now you know the rest of the story...

A fitting title (think Paul Harvey) for the final chapter of Titan's 3 day, 2 night visit to the summer retreat of the transplanted New Yorker, now Chicagoan, Bob "Gavonne" Zanchelli for what was to be 48 hours of tennis. "Bloated Behemoth" could not answer the bell on Wednesday morning. Titan had had his Dunkin Donuts java and was juiced, ready to play through the pain but couldn't get a game with his host. TT played eight sets in 24 hours, winning but one, capitulating to the physical needs of his host ... but his win will never be forgotten by Gavonne, I won't let him.

First it was, "I got to study the racing form, Deke, so I can send you home today a winner at something." Then it was, "Let's go watch "The Rapper" hit with the Skidmore coach." Yada, yada, yada...

As TennisTitan left the Skidmore grounds, Coach complimented Titan, "you really have a passion for the game, don't you." Gavonne just rolled his eyes...

As TennisTitan left Saratoga Race track later that day down near $100 thanks to Gavonne's betting knowledge, it was TT who rolled his eyes at Raging Bull and Rapper as their dad searched the form for a winner in the 8th race.
