Sets 162-164 (of 365):
Stuart vs. R. at McCallum High. Winner: Stuart 6-1, 6-2, 6-2.
My Mojo: Average.
I just have not felt the sparks lately. Sure, I pulled out wins here, but my strokes were tentative, my serve was not on at all, and when he was on, that's when I lost. I probably need to practice with the ball machine or against a wall, but I've got too many matches scheduled coming up to get any of that done in the next few days.

A scholarly discourse regarding fascinating and obscure psychological factors leading one of this planet's more curious carbon-based organisms to extemporaneously expel random musings which may or may not be related in some fashion to propelling a small round object through space above a flat surface either into or beyond an interweaved perpendicular highly porous fabric, within or outside of geometric patterns inscribed upon the aforementioned flat surface, mostly utilizing a stringed paddle.
This blog will, among other things, chronicle my attempts to meet my New Year's resolution of playing 365 sets of tennis in 2007. I did let myself start a little more than a month early. Why? Because I can. And because the thought of averaging a set a day for a year is, um, maybe a little overwhelming. I wanted some leeway to deal with the inevitable injuries, rainouts, cancellations, and so on. I also needed time to ramp up and contact people and get a network of people to play. So I have already started 2007 with 34 sets that I played in late November and December of 2006. Anyway, either way, I did play (and even exceeded) my 365 sets for a year, whether you count it from starting early or or from January 1, 2007. For more info, click on Why a Tennis Blog? and Clarification and Further Study of the Matter at Hand. Nowadays I just chronicle the tennis I play when I feel like it.
