I'm really sorry I couldn't check email today - I had a very hectic day at work and just got home at 6 p.m.! I am definitely interested in sharing lessons if we can work that out. do you know how we can share personal email without posting it on this site? (I don't want to get spammed with ads).

Also, my daughter's friend's dad teaches tennis in Kent and is available to give me a tennis lesson today.....I'd pay for an hour, but was hoping to do a shared hour (it's $50/hr)....Would you be interested in sharing the hour cost with me if I made it a 4pm class at Lake Wilderness? I had it set for 3, hoping my boy might come, but he can't be there. I could share it 2 or 3 ways, if you're interested. Please let me know so I can call him to confirm the time.
