But Titan, this is OUR island!

The above words resonated in TennisTitan's ears as he left the Blue Crab Key courts in this his last outting on the January Southern Senior's Tour. Titan came up small this morning. TT paired with the St. James City 'Dynamo', Doug Dack, in the first and fourth sets. 'Dynamo' suffered through three horrific service loses and received 'nada' support from 'El Choke O' in set number one falling before fellow Michiganders Ron 'No Dick am I' Van Dyck and Darryl 'Wolverine' Tison (3-6). Titan's only saving grace this set was that he held serve which did not offset the many miscued volleys he offered. Truth be told, the sun and wind were factors for all players. TT had little pop or accuracy on his first serve throughout the morning. TT joined with 'No Dick' for the second set and was rolled. I mean bageled (0-6) in 21 minutes. 'Dynamo' found his game in set two and he motored around the court as swiftly as the Wolverine. TennisTitan could not even be successfully carried by 'Wolverine' in set three as they dropped a hotly contested set (4-6). So that was strike three. But wait. 'Dynamo' requested a final opportunity to lift the 'bloated behemoth' to a victory. And indeed he did. TennisTitan was a willing participant in the 'Dack Attack' which led the 'boisterous bloviator' to TT's only victory (6-4). As the boys met at net to bid the 'bombastic blowhard' adieu they chorused, "Titan, it may be your house, but it is our island! Now get your sorry ass on that plane and don't forget to take your humility pills while you're back in New York!!"
