A 'Hallmark' Day

"Why can't he run that way in the game" was all the exasperated 'blogging bullshitter" could say as the 'Chemist' beat a hasty retreat to his car. "Titan, George cost you the third set as surely as he did as your partner in the (4-6, 3-6) defeats Bob 'Kraut' Kluge and I laid on you and him earlier," commiserated Lou 'Pistol' Gerencser. "Hold on Lou," quipped Der Klugemeister "I said 'I'd play with the TennisTitan in the third set.' But no one can guarantee a victory when the 'bloated behemoth' is his partner. A (2-2 partial) let me off the hook. Thank you, Mrs. Hauss." Indeed, 'Chemist' had overstayed his welcome at Kinsley. The Bunsen Burner had jumped higher when his cell phone rang than he had at anytime during the scintillating two sets that preceded the "get your ass home now" command. Doubles play was particularly strong this morning at Kinsley. Shot making and hustle from the foursome was of a high calibre. Too bad no other Saturday stalwarts had the heart to come out on a dreary, humid morning and observe the display. As the trio gathered at net, Titan lightened the mood. "Boys, George's 90 year old mother is up from Florida for Mother's Day. Odds are, that was her on the phone, not his wife. He was just making her feel young again."
