    I'm definitely interested in regular doubles or singles. I live in Pasadena so SoPas is easy for me -- afternoons or evenings are good. Hoyt Hilsman

    Hi,

    My regular partner is away this weekend, and I'm looking to play either Sat or Sun - we can rally or play sets, it doesn't matter to me. Let me know if you're available.

    Hi Rock -

    How about Sunday morning at 9? I will come up to Arroyo Seco if you can get a court for 90 minutes. If you can't, I recommend Cal State LA, since there are usually courts available. You never know with Orange Grove or Garfield. Let me know if that works for you.

    So Pas courts are OK, just have to be sure there aren't any classes on the weekends.

    Really - Cal State is the best. Have you ever played there? And can you play tomorrow at 9?

    Hi -

    glad that tomorrow will work. no code necessary. Here is a map -

    the courts are in the lower right hand side, and there is a parking lot (lot 11) next to them -- it's 2 or 3 dollars.

    I'll be on a blue scooter. my cell is 323-447-7436. Is your cell still 626-319-2910?

    Good playing today, and forgive me my ignorance. To quote the source of all information, Wikipedia:

    "There is no obvious single source for the plot of The Tempest, but researchers have seen parallels in Erasmus's Naufragium, Peter Martyr's De orbo novo, and an eyewitness report by William Strachey of the real-life shipwreck of the Sea Venture on the islands of Bermuda."

    take care
