    LOL about the picture quote- don't let it scare you. You look like you are about to decapitate the photographer!

    Hey man, I just moved to JP too. We should play some time. I work during the week but one of these week ends, especially once it's warmer. JP has a couple of public courts that I know of. They are all along the South West Corridor (where the T runs through JP). Specifically, I live near Stony Brook and just a few minutes walk down (towards Green Street) Lamartine there are two courts.

    Depends what you're looking for but I just got my racquet strung at City Sports in Chestnut Hill on Route 9, not too far. They had a lot of tennis stuff but I don't remember their racquets being that nice if you are in the market...
  • Andrew Kessel

    Hey Matt, I got kind of busy but I do want to play now. I might be going to the Cape this weekend - are there any days you can play early evening (around 6:15) when there is still an hour + of light? Otherwise we can try again the Saturday after this one if it falls through.
  • Andrew Kessel

    Definitely man, I can play Monday or Tuesday but maybe would rather play Tuesday? Do you have a preference?
  • Andrew Kessel

    Tuesday at 6:20 works well for me, Stony Brook has one court that seems to be in decent shape. Definitely bring the balls, cool man - I am psyched to get back out and do a little hitting
  • Andrew Kessel

    That's too bad. I'd like to play later this week and I might have a little bit of time tomorrow early evening (say around 6:45 ish) but otherwise I am busy until next week
  • Andrew Kessel

    Alright I'm down, let's play after work at the Stony Brook courts. I'm thinking we should start some time between 6:15-7:00 but it depends on when I get back from work and what I might be doing later in the evening. So we'll be in touch tomorrow, my cell is 802-318-6967. What is your #? Looking forward to a hit - hope the weather holds out
  • Andrew Kessel

    Matt, it was great playing with you on Tuesday. I think we are definitely competitive with one another. I do want to try and play regularly on Tuesdays if we can. Unfortunately I have a business trip this next week (this is not too common) so won't be able to play until the week after next but let's definitely try to get a rhythm going with it. Thanks again!

    Tenacity, a Boston based tennis organization, is renovating three tennis courts in Boston. We need volunteers! Would be great if could come out on June 14. There will be organized tennis on June 14th at three Boston parks following a community service cleanup. Guaranteed good competition! Come volunteer and than play some serious tennis!

    You are guaranteed to have a fun time!

    It will be happening on June 14th from 12-4pm. Time commitment is pretty flexible so if you have to come late or leave early, its all good...

    I posted some basic info below and if you email me (ananthpandian@tenacity.org) I can provide you with more info.

    There will be good food and some organized tennis after the remodeling is all done. Plus you will get a free shirt and snacks and water throughout the event!

    Hey Matt, do you want to play today - maybe around 6:20?

    Sorry about not getting back to you sooner - can't play until Wednesday. Might be able to do Thursday or Friday too. Let me know
  • Andrew Kessel

    Hey Matt, can you play tonight (after work) ?

    Hey Matt, it's been awhile since we've spoken but if you want to hit possibly on Thursday let me know. Also, I'm having a party this Saturday night at my house if you want to come. You can bring your roommates too.
