Deb and I escaped for the day, went to Shelby to find her favorite beer, then hiked at Crowders Mountain State Park. Charlotte skyline.

I watched some climbers

Then we spent the night camping in the Uwharrie National Forest. Pie Iron Apple Pies

Fun to cover March Madness again, too bad my game isn’t till 9:30pm

South Carolina held off a strong UNC team.

My assigned game was Iowa State vs Creighton, I was sending it to 3 newspapers.

Good night of tennis, cruised to a 6-1 6-1 win

The start of the USTA spring season and I took this picture after our match. My partner asked me if the caption was “tough match.” It was:

This was a brand new wrap before the match, all I got was 1 match out of it. Dennis and I played well, won the first set 6-3, fell behind 1-4 in second before rallying to 5-5 before dropping 2 games to lose the 2nd set. Third set tie breaker, we had chances before dropping it 9-11. At least our match was the clinching one, the team lost 0-5 in the match, it’s always odd to be the last match on the court and everybody watching you, you wonder is the match score 2-2 and we need this win? No pressure!

So many online calls – Northern Short Course is 11 days away – sadly it will be virtual again this year.
