Random things about me (hobbies, occupation, tennis history, favorite band, etc.):

Time to dust off the racquets and kick-start the old tennis game again. Ankle seems healed, although my timing and movement now officially suck. :)

Update: Fractured an ankle during a soccer match, and have been suffering through months of no tennis. I had also just started to do a little part-time coaching at a local junior program, but had to stop almost as soon as I began. Just a couple more weeks now and I'll be back on the court...

Hey everyone. What a cool site! About me: I grew up in Palm Springs, CA, and just relocated back to town after about 10 years in New York City. I played very serious tennis as a junior, but played baseball in high school and college, so tennis wasn't an option. I picked up at racquet again a few years ago with some friends who had played collegiate tennis in New York, and started pounding the fuzz with them just like old times. That absolutely re-hooked me on tennis. I ended up coaching a private high school team there for 3 years, during which time we won 2 NYC Independent School City Championships! I'd love to hit with anyone looking for an evening hitting partner. Casual hits are great too!
