June 24, 2008

The irony of it all. Just when we buy into the notion that simplification in life merits our attention, just when we equip ourselves with travel-sized peppermint oil spritzahs, just when we all agree that our team is about laughing and laughing a lot, along comes a new mission. According to our hired leader at Tuesday morning practice: drilling the ball is IN; simple mistakes are OUT. Quick hands are IN; bendie figure stance is OUT; punishment is IN; patience for mistakes is OUT. Remember, waterboarding IS legal, and it is NOT torture. You get the gist, right? Pacifists need not apply. Enter two new members to our existing artillery: Tomahawk and Sidewinder missiles Ann and Liz. Ann and Liz will make their debut on the doubles courts this week against Bass River. Be afraid. Be very afraid...
