'Twas for You Joe-Joe

"Wham,"... the sound of Titan's return of 'CC Flashes' opening serve as it caught the vertex of the baseline and sideline in the backhand corner. It was a harbinger of things to come. The osprey cawed in delight as 'Flash' looked to the heavens forelornly as his 85 mph serve that had 'pop' was met by "Pop-Pop's" (Grandpa's) emphatic answer. It was the first of many to whistle into the backhand corner defuzzing the Wilson #2's and deflating the 'Cape Coral Road Runner.' 'Flashes' big game is only exceded by his temper and the 'boisterous blowhards' ego. Barely 30 hours after the birth of his grandson Joey and 12 hours removed form his 72 hour stint as baby-sitter for the two other toddlers your Titan was back on the BCK hard courts celebrating another delivery. First-rate Titan Tennis. Titan ran off with the opening set (6-1) but left the field of battle far more invigorated with his second set performance. Gentleman Jim put a screeching halt to the Titan's 8 game run at 3 three love in the second set and quickly brought the set back on serve. There were no more self-congratualtory comments being emitted by the 'bloated behemoth' as he struggled to hold serve in the critical seventh and ninth games. Titan held in a triple deuce game and come back from love-20 in the other. How good was it to break Flash in the tenth and deciding game, you ask(6-4)? "Too good" was Titan's triumphant cry to the osprey pole as the bird of prey devoured his fresh catch. If a two and four year old can not wilt the Titan's energy over a three day period, there's no way 85 degrees, 90% humidity and a superior conditioned athlete can do it!. Afterall, "I am a TennisTitan." As Flash seethed putting his racket away and disdained the post match photo op, he fired his fifth ace of the morning with "I think 'Boisteous Blowhard' is a better fit my friend."
