P'Ball Report - February 4, 2010

What a difference a day and a 20 degree drop in temperature makes. The photo above was taken on 2/3/10 at 3:00PM while the photo below was taken on 2/4/10 at 2:00PM. An astute observer will note some interesting differences in these photos. The biggest difference is the paucity of players and cars in the parking lot. The next thing is the difference in attire. And, of course there are shadows in the top photo.

In the photo above Spike is eyeing his timepiece while Cupcake looks toward the park entrance for the arrival of players who might be on the tardy side. But, alas, no one showed. But, fear not. We played 'pepper' (playing close to the net - short shots back and forth). It took some doing and several attempts, but we finally managed a 25-shot rally. We played doubles (both on the same team) and won every game by consecutive 11-0 scores. Surely some kind of record. We then played singles by utlilizing only diagonal courts with each having one serve. This turned out to be a good workout.

Hoping the weather will cooperate next week.
