Pickleball

Me on the "diarrhea" side of the court

Pickleball deserves a post of its own. This evening Brooke, Meagan and BizCut (Brooke's dog) traveled out to the 'burbs for some solid racquet sport action. JoKin vs. Doug "E-Fresh" Starr II took place post dinner on the damp blacktop of Woodstock. After a little squeegee (weirdest word ever) action and light warmup it was game time. I promptly lost the first 4 matches before winning the ultimate game just before darkness set in. The two competitors received much appreciated ball-girling skills from Brooke and Meagan. I also appreciated Meagan's encouragment which included "C'mon!," "You're better than that," and "If you don't win a game, you have to walk home." Luckily I did win which improved my record against Doug E. Fresh to 1 and 7.
