Hawaiian Luau

Your TennisTitan was faced with the difficult choice of scrubbing his morning tennis (immediate pleasure) completely at Kinsley this crisp early Spring day or playing an abbreviated schedule so that he could attend his Fantasy League Baseball Draft (6 months of pleasure) later in the day. A no brainer. TT arrived early at Kinsley to play two sets and skidaddle. Who knew that Titan would be the quicker player as he was paired with Sab 'Koide Kid' in the only set (2-6) TT participated in. The 'Kid,' an 83 year old physical phenomenon, plays a 'touch' game and is a medical marvel with his conditioing . He is an Hawaiian-born physician who lived through Pearl Harbor who has a nasty array of spin shots. George 'Chemist' Hauss and 'Big Al' Dio Dati have too much power for the octogenarian. Thus, TennisTitan never had a chance to compete again on the challenge court and he wistfully watched 'Chemist'/'Big Al' defend against 'Rockin Rick' Ricci and 'Luger Lou' making a rare Saturday morning appearance. As 'Koide Kid' embraced Titan, having decided to leave after one set, 'KK' opined, "I didn't see the Japanese coming that day either Titan; and by the way, playing with you takes more out of me than when I run the NYC marathon in November." This was no less hurtful than the 'Chemist's stinging remark as Titan retreated to his car a defeated man, "Titan, you played Fantasy Tennis this morning too."
