That should give us confidence against these feeble "Futures" players today!!!

When I read your blog I rally got a chuckle. Good luck this weekend. I won't be there in body but I will be there in spirit. I have to tell you another story on Jim. He was about 8 or 9. His tennis pro had told him not to let anything distract you while playing a match. Just stop until the distraction stops. While playing a match also at Public Courts in Charleston, WV with bleachers loaded with fans and family, a freight train goes by behind the courts. You guessed it. Jim stopped and let the train go by (all 80 or so cars) before he served the next ball. I am Jim Lewis’s mom. When I read your blog I rally got a chuckle.
