hehe, you're very right. I was so happy to see so many members showing support for the mid-atlantic chapter that i forgot to cast my vote.

I'm pretty much free almost everyday these days since school is over and I have to yet get a summer job, so I'm pretty flexible with timing. But, the thing is that next week, my family and I are moving from house to house, so I'm pretty busy until May 3rd. But, after that, I should be free. By then, my hitting partner PurePrestige will also be back from school.

The public courts do get a little full over the weekends and week nights. Reservation is not essential I would say. But, it would be a nice thing to have. As far as park choices, I'm up for Nottoway, Wakefield, or any Reston area parks. I usually go to Nottoway or Wakefield to hit with friends. Wakefield has a lot more courts than Nottoway which has 4 good hard court ones and 2 rubberized crappy courts.

ILoveCarlos and Starlite should also come out for the meet since they also live in the DC area!

FYI - Sundays are usually best for me. I can also do Wednesdays sometime if my soccer team isn't playing.

You should probably put me towards the bottom if we're listing members in descending skill level.

Thanks, James. That's very kind of you.

It's been two years since I've really taken an interest in tennis, so I definitely feel like I lack the match experience that comes with time. And, I'm still in the process of adjusting/improving my strokes little by little, so I feel there's still a long way to go. But, I really love tennis, so I don't find it hard to devote time into improving my game.

Besides, I think I was born a self-destructing nutcase (like Gaudio), so don't worry too much about me being too harsh on myself. Thanks for the encouraging words though.

Well, it looks like at least we have a clown in the Mid-Atlantic group. JK!

welcome back to the game! in all seriousness, i am most likely by far the lowest rated in the group...so i am sure you will be fine, rusty or not. as for the self destruction, i cant help you there.
