Stick a racket in my hand, and I become a lethal weapon. It’s only fair that I warn you.

Tonight Ben and I played tennis.  There’s a pretty sweet set of courts near our place that stay lit until fairly late at night, so we went out for a few hours this evening to whack a few balls around.  Here’s a little breakdown of our time on the courts:

• I realized pretty early on that I’m not very good. I think what kind of tipped me off was when 3 consecutive serves went into the three other courts.
• There was a group of guys who apparently missed the memo that they were on a tennis court and instead must have thought they were at a skatepark.  They also apparently assumed they were as good as Tony Hawk.  Not true.  At all.
• Although I’m not awesome at tennis, I did notice that the minute Ben and I had a rally of at least three, I instantly felt like I should probably just go ahead and sign up for Wimbledon.
• At one point, one of the skateboarders walked over to the corner of the courts and peed.  For a long time.  Right behind Ben.  Which meant that I could see him doing it.
• It then meant that when Ben and I switched sides, I had to try extra hard  to get the balls before they landed in the pee corner. 

And on a completely unrelated topic, check out this video.  Musically – it’s really sweet.  I can take zero credit for this find.  But clearly, I will post it anyway.  I’m all about spreading the youtube gems of the world.  (I found it through Angella, who linked it through Whoorl.  2 great reads, you should check them out)
