A Week In The Life, and Group Tennis Compared To Group Sex

I played tennis almost every day this week.  The exception was one day when I canceled with the group because a good friend of mine's dad died and I wanted to attend the memorial service to be with him.

Today I wasn't sure if I was going to make it.  To play tennis, that is.  There was a group thing at nine in the morning and I like to sleep late.  And, to top it off, I had gotten up to play tennis at eight in the morning yesterday *groan*.  But once I got there (both days) it was happening.

Group tennis vs. group sex:  You get to do a bunch of people.  You get to watch how everybody does it, and how their bodies move.  You get to marvel at people who have techniques that you either only dream of or that you can incorporate into your routine.  You might not know who will show up, and you might be pleasantly surprised.

OK, group tennis is really nothing like group sex.  It's not intimate.  It's not fake.  Nobody is naked, and nobody is trying to get their rocks off.  There's much less jealousy.  But it's worth a comparison because it brings me eyeballs.  (ha, ha, got you here, didn't I?)

So enough of this prurient pornographic stuff.  Back to the tennis.

Today, four people showed up for the group, so we just played doubles.  I'm not a huge fan of doubles.  For some strange reason, I like control over my shit.  But I do like to mix with folks and smack balls around, so it's all good.  But we just couldn't get it together, and lost a set 6-4.  We had a good surge mid-set, and won a couple of games, but just lost the magic.  *sniff*

Everybody else took off at that point, but I was still ready to jump up and down for another hour and a half, so I went to the gym and did 45 min. of weights and then 45 min. of elliptical.

Yesterday, a bunch of people showed up, so we mixed it up between singles and doubles, moving around people from one thing to the next. I tink we played for about two and a half hours.  I was triumphantly undefeated (though one doubles thing was a tie) in every configuration I played in.  So there. (don't worry about me getting smug, I'll get my ass handed to me in humiliating fashion soon enough).

Before that it's a blur.  All I know is I played a bunch.
