Championship! July 31, 2008
Well my trophy from the Ocean Club/ARI tennis tournament last fall finally got here; received it this afternoon from UPS.....kind of thought there would be more pomp and circumstance surrounding the presentation; as long as I waited I thought Prince Ranier or Queen Elizabeth would show up to present it; but, it was just me and the UPS driver. Even though its really hot today he was not amused by the champagne shower.
Hey what kind of contest was this anyway? This picture is a little better
At last, a place on my trophy shelf right next to my coin jar, always thought I saved this place for something special like this. The player looks more like JFK Jr than me

I would like to thank the Academy, all the guys back at the shop, my buddies in the engine shop, all the sponsors, aw gee I'm afraid if I start listing them I'll forget someone............
Tune in next week for pictures of Cooper's second birthday!

Maybe you can show it to the judge when your court date comes up from your being "cited" per your previous posting. Or maybe you can hock it to make bail.

Congrats to you and your doubles partner? I don't recall who that was. Is it Terry?

My partners were misc., it was round robin and wins and losses were added up at the end, a men's and women's champ declared. The women's champ in 07 was an older woman from MA, in 08 she was mid20's from NY. Both were good players
