Saturday - August 26, 2006

The morning was gray and cool. It was hard to believe that it was summer. 4 players, Zack, Carole, Cyp and Larry gathered together to play tennis. Cyp may have been a little sleepy since Zack woke him up this morning to be a last minute substitute.

Zack and Carole teamed up against Cyp and Larry. Many cries of "switch" by Zack was heard with a result of what appeared to be confusion rather than switching. Cyp and Larry edged Zack and Carole in 2 sets, 7-5, 7-5.

Louise (not Zack's wife) and Harry played singles in the court adjacent to us.

After tennis Louise (Zack's wife) brought her tomato entry for official weighing. Her german variety of tomato weighed in at a little over 16 ozs. to take the lead in the tomato contest. The weighing was witnessed by Carole, the former leader in the tomato contest. Louise was awarded additional points for presentation when she submitted her tomato in a colorful basket. Cyp will be bringing his tomato entry for weighing after FIJI STAG tomorrow.

The after tennis refreshments were beer from Zack, chips and salsa from Larry, grapes from Harry, and a tasty dish of strawberry topped dip with crackers from Louise (not Zack's wife).

The ratings that changed after today's play are as follows:

Zack -4.8
Carole - 5
Larry - 4.1
Cyp - 4.5

All of the other ratings are the same as in the previous posting.

I think we will be back next week.
