    well I'm glad he liked the tennis and all my sarcasm, I think most people play me for the laughs actually. Ahhhh, I just love the sport what can I say. Ok on the dampener, I can get that from you when we hit. I might take advantage of the crappy weather, I'm looking at 5 broken racquets in front of me right now that need to be strung and regripped, good day for it. Talk to ya soon.
