A debate on the courts!!

I had a tough decision to make last night, go to tennis practice or watch the Palin/Biden Debate. Brutal choice!! Of course I couldn't miss practice and it turned out to be the right decision.

I got teamed up with Gary this week, what more could I want. I've said it here before and I'll say it again, there has never been anyone that i feel more comfortable playing doubles with than the Gman. We've know each other for 20 years it shows on the court. We are a pretty solid team. I always play my best when teamed with Gary.

Our last set was a classic that we won't soon forget. I was struggling all night, couldn't hit a return to save my life. We quickly fell down love-3. On the change over I did what all players do, I blamed my racket. I switched to my spare racket with the tension about 12 pounds lighter. Immediately I began to smash and crash and we were back in the set at 3-3. The drama started at 5-5. Jp was serving. The crazy Aussie playing singles on the court next to us was either having some type of seizure or mental breakdown. He was screaming after all of his points. I've been there, we all have and it sucks to be so frustrated. But , last night wasn't my turn so honestly I found it quite amusing. In the midst of the outburst we managed to break JP, that was all she wrote. Jp started barking at the Aussie and the obligatory FU's were exchanged. Gary served out the set for a compelling 7-5 victory. Then of course the great debate about proper court etiquette started over a couple of beers. It's still brewing today. Sometimes I feel like I'm on the ladies team..wtf with the drama..lol

I cancelled my run this afternoon because I watched the Palin/Biden debate replay at 1am. It made for a long tired day. She did enough! She just had to stay competetive and she was able to do that. Now the focus should go back onto McCain.

I can't believe they passed the bail out today. Don't even get me going!! Absolutely horrific!!

I need a 3 miler tomorrow or Sunday to get my confidence up after Wednesday's fiasco.

Later...ross
