    Hi Kirstin,

    I'm new to the group and just starting introducing myself to some folks that may be a good fit (local and on a close level playing-wise). I also played varsity in High Schol (singles and doubles too), but for not many years since. Just started getting it going again, but a lot of rust to shake off, and new rackets to break in. Looking forward to the longer days and better weather though, after moving here in 2006 I realized how much you have to savor the late spring/summer/early fall. I also like the same favorite players too... So anyway, I also live in SE, a stone's throw from Laurelhurst Park near Burnside. Let me know if interested in hitting some balls. Thx, Gabe

    Hey Kirstin, thanks for getting back so fast... not sure if I can play today though it does look pretty dry and kinda nice, only a little breeze. I can try but otherwise maybe tomorrow or on the weekend if we get a nicer dry day - seems like only 1 or 2 days a week have been doable lately. But perhaps if I can get a bunch of stuff done by late afternoon I may free up today. What time were you thinking? Courts have started to get more busy as days get longer/warmer. Hey, I may not log in again today so here's my # - 503-891-9175, also email is gabelempert@gmail.com. I'll check later today, but feel free to call, or u can text me a time that I can shoot for... Thanks.

    Kirstin,

    Just wanted to follow up and let you know, suppoesd to rain a little through Monday, but looks like Tues-Fri this coming week will be nice, and increasingly warmer, almost 60 degrees on Friday!

    I am very flexible at the moment, let me know what day/time may work for you if you still want to go hit some balls. (Laurelhurst?) Best, Gabe

    Hey Kirstin,

    Still rainy season but let me know in the coming weeks if you want to hit some tennis balls. Haven't logged into the site since early in the month but still want to meet some people that may be ready to play some tennis in April. Let me know.... what part of town where you in again?

    Best

    Sounds good Kirstin, you are very close and right next to those courts. I'm flexible so just get back at me with a couple slots when you and mother nature are ready... my # again is 503-891-9175. Thx, Gabe

    Hey Kirstin,

    Just wanted to check in with you...
    It's a gorgeous day, gonna be 70 degrees - wanna go hit some balls?

    Was supposed to hit with another guy later, but his wife had something come up. I see some other peeps but they are in Gresham, NoPo and Beaverton. I don't mind driving but since you are in the neighborhood I thought we could meet at Laurelhurst courts?

    Let me know, my # again is 503-891-9175 (not sure when checking email again today). I'm pretty flexible today, just doing projects and catching up on things.
