"Prezzie, what position did you say you played on the Jasper football team in days of yore" Titan inquired of 'El Prezidente.' The former Manhattan College, class of '68 graduates had just exhausted themselves in a 2 hour 15 minute, rain plagued marathon at the Law Memorial Clay Courts in Briarcliff Manor, NY this muggy afternoon. The 'jocular jester' managed to get the best of the 'offensive guard' in all three sets (6-4, 6-1, 6-4) but not without considerable effort. Rich Prezioso served as an impenetrable wall through most of the contest returning all the fire power TT could muster. Too few points to the Titan's liking lasted less than a ten ball rally, taking its toll on the 'bloated blowhard' far more than 'Richard the retriever.' "Prez, you've got no offense, don't be defensive about your limitations in that area of your game. Because there was no end to your determination to thwart me winning our luncheon bet. "Titan you had me running back to the baseline on every lob" responded 'Prez.' "I hit almost all my forehands on the nose but I was unable to tackle how to handle the short returns you were making for winners consistently" suggested the 'dilatory dimwit.' "Prez, you got tight serving that last game. It's a shame that I couldn't end this day at Squires Restaurant on your dime but we are both soaked playing the last set in a steady rain. But I'll take a rain check."
