Keep Away

I wanted to write an article about eye-hand coordination and then I decided not.

I don't know that I needed to be told this, but perhaps I was told so.

I have only been taught by a few pros, not that I didn't need nor still need some professional (psychiatric) help.

David and His Father, Goliath

This is one of my articles from the "We've All Heard this Before" file, but I am still amazed.

Playing tennis with a group a few weeks ago, I look over beyond a few vacant courts and I see this man at the net feeding (attempting to do so) balls to his three or four year old son (I assume).

His son is about two feet behind the baseline, doing his best to swing the adult racket at the ball, much less hit it, much less over the net, including the nets on adjacent courts which are now inundated with misguided tennis balls.

Ball Gone

Not that this hasn’t happened before, but this time I was purely a spectator. The other day while out at the sometimes-more-casual-than-I-would-prefer Moose League (actually not a league – just sounds good), I was coming off court and noticed about four or five players debating whether or not two different sets of balls were dead (no longer suited for play).

We are never lacking for near-fresh balls or a new can with so many players playing different leagues, clubs and all over town. This is why I stood back and observed such a meeting of the minds and these various testing methods.

Wow! I've Been Eating Since I Got Here

I wrote this article several years ago when I was in the fitness biz, which I imagine I still am involved with in some fashion.

I can't say I have learned much more about holiday eating since then. Much still holds true and except for those who are predisposed to over-eating (and perhaps these individuals as well) - we tend to eat more (or gain more body-fat) over the holiday season. This is not a shocker and I attribute this to four factors.

Scuba Duba Do. Do You?

I was a lifeguard as a teenager, have been on or in three oceans, sailed many seas and lived in four coastal towns. In fact, I am overlooking the lake as I write this.

But who is the first in my family to scuba dive? My sister.

She recently went on a diving trip to the Grand Bahamas with Columbia Scuba, hosted by UNEXSO.
