Yet Another Excuse

TennisTitan concluded his three week stint on his "Panhandle" Tour with a very satisfying one-setter against his son, Jeff 'Big Daddy' Briscoe. TT and 'BD' hooked up at the Fisherman's Village Park in Punta Gorda, Fl. in a match that "wowed" the business people and snow birds enjoying their lunch in this idylic setting along the Peace River at Charlotte Harbor. Titan was out played (2-6), dropping the final four games in what had appeared to be a closely contested match, by the more mobile 'BD' in a set that was significantly effected by the gusting conditions and 85 degree temperature at 1 p.m. Titan, indeed, had the crap kicked out of him, but the ever resouceful 'bloated behemoth' had his excuse ready as the father/son team headed for the soda fountain at the nearby gas station upon departure. "Jeff, I couldn't make my dumper this morning taking care of your kids so you could sleep in. Those extra pounds are what did me in today!"
