I began tennis lessons at the late age of 50 and have been taking lessons for two years. I am excited about my continuing improvements in every area, including my endurance. My instructor says that if I keep with it, I could one day enter senior tournaments. Meanwhile, I dream of watching an actual professional tournament, meeting Denis Istomin and writing his life story. I would also like to meet Nadal and Federer.

9th and 12th grades, played girls' team tennis. tennis team. public high school. played about 3 matches or so. it was fun. but kind of meaningless and not worth the effort.
drag around tennis racket all day long. get told off by the coach. whatever.
now what i do is just walk seven miles a day. five days a week. if someone bothers me, i avoid and ignore him. if he proceeds, then i take a videotape and tattle to 911. granted, plenty of precious lil "people" are smarter, faster, stronger, more attractive, richer, and more socially adept than me. (fine). but there is no socially awkward situation where they get to tell me off the way the tennis coach had the nerve to tell me off.
