Grex Agora41 Item 90: Tennis, anyone?
Entered by jep on Mon Apr 15 01:22:02 UTC 2002:

I'm interested in finding a tennis partner or two.  Is anyone here 
interested in getting together maybe once or twice a week for tennis?

I'm overweight and 40 years old, but I used to be a pretty good tennis 
player, and I'd still like the chance to stretch my muscles and chase 
after some balls.  It'd be a bit of an irregular event for me since I 
could only come when my son is not scheduled to be with me.  (He's 5 
and is not going to be able to play for a while yet.)

I live in Tecumseh but work in Ann Arbor, and don't mind at all if I 
have to drive to Ann Arbor to play.

While I don't see this as likely to turn into a Grex get-together sort 
of thing, I wouldn't mind if other people use this item to find 
partners, or if it turned into a semi-regular thing for several people.

I should mention, I think I have an extra tennis racket or two, which 
anyone can use if they're so inclined.

Hmm, interesting.  I don't know that I'd be interested on a regular basis,
but I've been known to stink up the tennis court from time to time.  Perhaps
another semi-regular grex gathering might be called for?

Ideally, I'll get to the point where I can go out and play tennis for a 
couple of hours at a time, a couple of times per week, with others who 
are about as good as me and who will develop at the same rate.  
Fantastically speaking, I'll get in shape, become a pretty good player, 
and enter local tournaments (win them... go pro... win Wimbledon...)

Meanwhile, I'd like to just get out and try to play a couple of times 
to see what happens.  You want to get together someday, flem, and whack 
some orbs with yellow fuzz on them?

WILL U MIND 4 A CYBER TENNIS?

Well, I'm looking for people to get together with to hit tennis balls.  
I've never heard of cyber tennis.  I'm probably not philosophically 
opposed to it, but it's also probably not really what I'm looking for.

I'm still looking for one or more tennis partners.  Anyone interested?
