"Pop - Don't be a Weasel"

TennisTitan opened his abbreviated Southern Senior Tour this date against a senior-in-training, 'Big Daddy' Jeff Briscoe. Although Titan acquitted himself reasonably well in the opening set against a man half his age, TT could not compensate for the difference in agility and foot speed as the senior Briscoe dropped the first set (4-6). Titan further withered in set two and was a less formidible adversary as his grandchildren arrived and watched the total dismantling (1-6) of the 'bombastic blowhard' before an enthusiastic group of mothers and toddlers hooting from the adjacent swing set at the A. J. Goll Park facility in Northport Florida. 'Big Daddy' helped Titan keep his game in perspective as the two met at net when he reminded the ol' man, "Dad, I am used to dealing with TODDLERS on and off the court." Ouch! "Let me get to my fellow seniors on Pine Island with some pride left!!
