It’s good to have options ;--)<BR/><BR/><B>Kaige</B> – It was my brother who taught me … when I was 12 and he was 21. I’ve loved the game ever since.<BR/><BR/><B>Brenda</B> – Happy T-13 to you also. Thanks for leaving the link so I could find your blog too.<BR/><BR/><B>Pussreboots</B> – I always enjoy your T-13s!<BR/><BR/><B>Sandy</B> – There are lots of new young players rising fast … challenging but not yet overtaking Federer … yet.<BR/><BR/><B>Bella Mocha</B> – Me too! I’d love to go to Wimbledon too ;--)<BR/><BR/><B>Joely</B> – Happy T-13 and Easter to you too! Thanks for your visit.<BR/><BR/><B>MamaGeek</B> – Why thank you ;--)<BR/><BR/><B>Karen</B> – I am enjoying the matches because the play has been so well-matched thus far. I hope this kind of ‘quality’ carries through the remaining matches too.<BR/><BR/><B>Lori</B> – You’re welcome … and thanks.<BR/><BR/><B>Tina</B> – This trophy is one of the nicer looking ones in my humble opinion.<BR/><BR/>It’s fun to find all these comments upon returning from my walk with Molly and before the afternoon matches begin.

I do love to watch and once used to play … eons ago.<BR/><BR/><B>Gray Matters</B> – I’d love to go to the US Open in person! Actually <BR/>Indian Wells is just a few hours away from here so I could actually go … if I had the time to spare.<BR/><BR/><B>Colleen</B> – Sorry I didn’t number them today. There are two lists of 13 actually … one for men and the other women. I dumped the numbering in order to keep the font size readable and the text from wrapping ;--)<BR/><BR/><B>Kat</B> – Actually, I sometimes wish the same thing. Tennis is good exercise and lots of fun. My sister and I played until she developed bone spurs on the bottoms of her feet and couldn’t play any longer.<BR/><BR/><B>Marcia</B> – Methinks it’s a whale, but you could be right ;--)<BR/><BR/><B>SandyCarlson</B> – You’re welcome. I appreciate you making the info available. I miss lots of ‘stuph’ because I no longer watch TV or read newspapers on any kind of regular basis.<BR/><BR/><B>Hootin’ Anni</B> – My brother taught me to play when I was 12 and I played competitively in college … recreationally for decades after. I’ve always loved to watch it too … especially the close matches. I’m watching Blake vs Gasque at the moment and looking forward to the winner of this match (looks like it will be Blake at the moment) playing Nadal in the next round. <BR/><BR/>Susan – I know how that happens … there’s only so much time in the day! I’d love to ‘hang out’ at your place more often … if I wasn’t ‘distracted’ by ‘real life’ and my own blogging … tennis … gardening … friends and family … and reading, not to mention my own writing and Molly’s demands. I don’t know how I ever had time to work … Seriously!<BR/><BR/>Thanks to all of you for stopping by and commenting on my T-13 today. If I’ve not been to your blog yet, I will be there as time permits … I promise.<BR/>Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-78061635076826417442008-03-20T08:05:00.000-07:002008-03-20T08:05:00.000-07:00I haven't followed tennis in YEARS.
