Life moves on. Friday and Saturday have both been full. Friday morning was women's doubles at the college. It was our first experience playing together outdoors, which is quite different. The weather held for the morning, then serious rains deluged in the afternoon, as predicted. I have not yet quite figured out my "tennis outfit", clothes that work for tennis, are comfortable, have pockets, etc. I just have a challenging body to fit. I am the only one of the four of us with a non-skinny body, and of course, that makes me self-conscious.
Friday night Gerry and I enjoyed a play at the nearby Center for the Performing Arts, our first visit there. I especially wanted to see the guy from the choir play Elvis. The comedy is entitled Four Weddings and an Elvis. The entire play takes place in a wedding chapel, and one of the wedding chapel ministers does an Elvis impersonation, singing Elvis songs. It was a hysterical play, most entertaining. Perhaps one of these years, I'll try out for a part myself!
Today, I had lunch with a friend in Syracuse, and it was good to catch up. It's been a really long time since we've talked. I managed to squeeze in some shopping in Penney's, and to my delight, found a couple of shirts that just might work to make a good "tennis outfit." They are the right style and length.
I am now signed up to play tennis doubles in the Empire State Senior Games in June. I guess I am trying to find a way to look like I fit in there. It will be a first-time experience.
Hopefully, it will not be the last. Maybe singles someday, or even mixed doubles. There are still so many fun things to look forward to!
