My tennis journal: first entry

Want to hit this weekend?

I am dying to play tennis . . . anyone want to hit with someone (me) who hasn't played in a long while?

I'd love to this weekend if anyone is available. I live in the Silverlake area of Los Angeles. I don't know of any courts yet though.

Saturday morning (tomorrow), I'll be at the FUZE / Susan G. Komen race @ the Rosebowl in Pasadena. I'll be at the FUZE tent! You should come.

Afterwards, I'm game. Or possibly Sunday?

Let me know. I can't wait :)

First Outdoor tennis of the season

Hey Brooklyn Tennis,

I just played outside for the first time this season.
I played with Mike from the group.
We both had a good time, and we evenly matched.

FYI- If anyone in the group has a flexible schedule like I have, I am available to play most weekdays
