Grounds Crew Classic V

The grounds held their annual tennis tournament. The highlight was the opening ceremonies: Larry and Magnus entered on a parade float (a trailer attached to the tractor), national anthems of Sweeden and USA, presentation of this year's Grand Prix trophies to Kevin, Nate and Jeff. We played one match each, thunderstorms came in and we all went to Roggies in Cleveland Circle. Magnus's team was declared the winner.

A great speech by Magnus - kudos to the Swedish Meatball. Larry came in #2 and he will be in a funk until next year, I'm afraid. He was forced to drink the high priced stuff (2.00) as his usual choice was not available.

Tim thought he was playing rugby and he ended up kissing the grass on a regular basis - his game has improved to the point where it doesn't make one wish that tennis had never been invented.

The glare from Kevin's legs was his secret weapon as it often blinded the opposing server - good plan, Kev.

A good time at Roggie's - I was at the quiet end of the table with Steve and John. We had deep thoughts while the other end of the table engaged in spirited banter, as usual.

Thanks to all, I wish I had been able to play even one game this year.
