Weather?..I'll tell you about Weather!

Okay, so Titan had to come back to New York from Texas to get his next victory. TT has always said he'd '"travel far and wide for a good game." Well TennisTitan and three of his mates managed to get in two sets this morning before mid-morning steady rain returned to Yonkers. Twasn't easy though. Kinsley Courts were nearly ready for play when the 'bloated behemoth' emerged from his car with push broom and squeegie in hand. Titan joined Frank 'Slats' Slattery, George 'Chemist' Hauss and 'Big Al' Dio Dati for the final minutes of the clean up of the overnight rain and then proceeded to 'clean the competition.' 'Slats' wisely stepped up, volunteering to carry the Titan in the first set and was rewared bountifully (6-2). Sheer hubris prevented the chastened duo of 'Chemist'/'Big Al' from breaking up a losing combination, so TT/'Slats' administered another one-sided thrashing (6-2) as rain returned in earnest during the second set and halted play for the day. Titan had 'pop' on the serve when needed and the lob working the corners, giving 'Slats' ample opportunity to "bury that first volley!".As Titan headed to his car 'Slats' opined, "TT, how tough was it to play in that Texas heat?" To wit the 'bombastic blowhard' rejoined, "Slats, you think we're wet this morning from the rain, try 102 degrees and 90% humidity, that's wet!"
