    Sorry, I can play today - are you still free? Would you be able to come to JP after work today? Maybe around 6:20? My cell is: 802-318-6967
  • Andrew Kessel

    Hey Joshua,

    I got your message thanks. Sorry about all of those messages before. Let's shoot for the 16th after work. Can you come to JP?
  • Andrew Kessel

    It looks like it might rain on Friday. We'll have to see tomorrow night. I'll give you a call either way since I have your number. If we do play in JP, the public courts are right near Stony Brook on the Orange Line and I get off work at about 6. We'll be in touch
  • Andrew Kessel

    Since there's a 80% chance of rain tomorrow I think we should bag it. Can you play Saturday any time in JP (although there is still a 30% chance of rain Saturday)
  • Andrew Kessel

    eee, no can do, sorry. Maybe Sunday at that time would work? It was just raining out so I don't think today would have worked. But let's not give up
  • Josh

    Hey Josh. Josh here.

    Interested in hitting today. It's suddenly awesome weather outside. Seems like MIT's main courts might be a good in-between spot for us.

    Let me know if you're up for it. Dying to get out there today!

    Hi Josh,

    You left me a a message a while ago on Tennisapolis about playing tennis. Sorry it took me awhile to get back to you.
    I didn't even realize I had a message on there. Are you available to play in the next couple weeks?

    I can play in Cambridge/Somerville/Boston, I can usually get to courts by 6pm Mon-Fri.

    Let me know if you want to play.

    Hey Josh! Thanks for your note. It would be good to meet up soon. Maybe this weekend or early next week. I am free and flexible for about 3 weeks. So I can do early afternoons or evening. Weekends are cool too. Tomorrow I am busy, but Friday looks good weather wise... Weekend is iffy but I am free and would like to meet up if that works for you.
  • Ramon

    hey Josh,

    I emailed you, but it bounced back.

    Sorry to hear about your bad experience. Did you at least hit the ball? :-)

    When are you usually free to play?
  • Nezam

    I am actually busy June 21 and 22nd. I started private lessons with a coach .. realized I have some work to do before I am more in shape and get the hang of things again. I am working to improve until then ... we could meet up after 21 or 22nd. Good luck!

    Great. That sounds perfect! I'm still learning under non-formal settings. I'm a bit under the weather these last few days so no games for me now, but we can try and set up a general time and location of where we could try and meet. Where do you usually play and when?

    Hi Josh,

    Thanks for writing. At 3.0, you may be a bit better than me; I'm still unsure of my rating. However, I'd be happy to play sometime. Since you mention your age, I'll mention mine: 44.

    I live in Beverly. Where were you thinking of meeting?

    Hey Josh,

    Thanks for the note! Actually, I am a 4.5 or more so it probably wouldn't be a great match for us. I apologize ...
