Josh, had a long day windsurfing, so I won't show till around you show, around mid day.
Mikeler, sorry to miss you. We could have figured out strings for our rackets, because I think President is going for lower tensions also, to save his arm from his forehand swings.
Yeah, I'll drive the GTI.
Still home at 10, hoping my shoulder loosens up a bit.
It's cold (61), foggy wet, and perfect weather for my arthriitis today..
Hi Matt...
15th is better, a Monday, so the courts aren't crowded. Best starting time around noon to one, when the old farts are leaving.
Remember, I don't own a car, so have to borrow my g/f's. She won't want me driving into the City to play tennis, or anywhere farther than Berkeley.
I usually don't windsurf on Mondays, so I do have all afternoon to play.
I got the balls covered for sure.
Hi Josh....
I'll show up around 11 or so at SanPabloPark tennis courts.
For sure, now the kids lessons are done, and 6 courts are availible.
So we can hit or whatever, plenty of courts, I got the tennis balls.
Some other activities that could be fun in SF:
- surfing at the waves at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge (if there are any at that time)
- visiting the historical Angel Island Immigration Station

- eating fresh raw oysters
- driving up to the Redwood forest. (I actually like Sequoia National Park more, though)
- participating in a football distance throw contest vs LeeD
Ft.Point is basically a beginner wave that breaks on medium to low tides, usually slow, mushy, extremely crowded, and Matt don't surf. Didn't you know, Vietnamese don't surf. Ask Robert Duvall.
My Dad spent 4 months at Angel Island in 1940.
Crab and fish at Fisherman's Wharf, oysters up the road 40 miles at Tomales Bay.
Muir Woods is the local park that Redwoods hang out at.
While some younger guys can have pretty good arms, there won't be many guys short of college or high school QB's who can throw farther than 50 yards without any warmup whatsoever.
No problem.
Something like Sept13, a Monday, after he sight sees over the weekend to MuirWoods, GGBridge, Fisherman's Wharf, Coit Tower, LombardSt. and some stuff like that.
Would be good to hit with you again.
Let me know if this is in bad taste but I might be able to make a monday if i have enough warning like now.
If you dont mind me butting in, I would love to play with you guys. Matt you could hit with a real racket and show us that TT Djokovic form of yours.
Otherwise let me know and I will work
Yeah. weekday is tough unless its early. But I can plan and make a specific date about 2 weeks out.
Should be a good time!
What is all that stuff you listed? People really do that??

Hey Lee, maybe we should have an Open Invitational thing like JackB1 did on Tips. Would be cool.
Hey Shroud!
You should try to make SanPabloPark courts on the next few Mondays. At least for a few weeks, we actually got a couple of real 4.0's to show up, and one League 4.5 No.2 singles player, one finalists at today's 65's singles tourney at Davies, and some lefty old farts with decent serves.
Too bad President went back to Philly. He's got the hardest heaviest topspin forehand I've seen in the past 20 years, and I've hit with Freedom, Josh, Tracy, and his bud Mal Allen.
Life can be what you make of it.
My total earnings is 92 grand.
I"ve lived in the SanFrancisco area for 65 years.
I don't believe this. That's way too low to even be possible Lee. Are you sure?
