    Miles! Thanks for writing...I'm wrapping up a monster freelance project I've been dealing with for 6 months, and my deadline is Friday --- pulling 14-hr. workdays right now. How's your schedule shaping up for the week after next? Tue 8/19 is booked for me but other days are free as far as I know.

    Miles,

    Hey, I live not too far from Gabriel Park. Sounds like you might have some more skills around the court than I do, but if you are up for giving it a go let me know.
    Weekends and evenings work best for me.

    Thanks Dave

    Miles, Sorry I didn't get back in time with you this past weekend. Singles or Doubles in Tigard works well any weekend.

    I placed a comment on the Portland page for another player. I'll let you know if anyone bites. Thanks.

    Miles -- Assuming the rain lets up, do you want to try getting together tonight or tomorrow (Thurs.)? I'm free after 5 or so. 503-772-3495. Let's monitor the skies...how hard is it to get an indoor court at PTC? Any idea?

    Miles,

    I'm free until 1:30 on Saturday. Unfortunately, don't know anyone else to play doubles.

    Miles -- thanks for the offer, but I think I'm needed for childcare duties Sat. AM. Another time, I hope.

    Miles,

    Still up for Saturday morning.

    Aug 22, 2008

  • Dave

    Sounds good. I'll call you Saturday A.M.

    10:30's a good time for me. As far as courts go...you're westside, correct? I'm east. I'll be coming from my father-in-law's place near about 30th & Division. I haven't seen the courts at Willamette Park -- are those in good shape?

  • Dave

    Yea,a good workout for me. Practiced my serve today. Let me know if you want to play again.

    3. The Grand Prize is a new Avery M3 Control racquet.
    4. Do I need any more reasons?

    6. Bragging rights.
    7. OK, I'm all out...

    Come fill in your bracket, more info here.

    Good game yourself. My feet and back are killin' me, proof that I was worked over pretty good. I scouted out the Sellwood Park courts, they're really nice, so maybe we can play there next time.

  • Tessa Sayers

    hey there, which courts do you play at?

    Aug 25, 2008

  • Stan

    Miles, I was thinking maybe we should play tomorrow (Wed.) at Sellwood Park -- lighted courts -- after about 7:30. What say you good sir?

    Aug 26, 2008

  • Tessa Sayers

    I only know of courts that are off Lombard. Its a busy court but I have always been able to play.
