November 21, 2008. Since most of us are quite familiar with high-brow art house films, I think it might serve us well to reflect on what happened to Bernice, the uber aggressive Girl Scout in the made-for-Sundance indie Dodgeball. Yes, Bernice was eliminated from competition after traces of a low-grade beaver tranquilizer were found in her system. Now, I do not know what the rules are regarding juicing in the North Shore Women's Tennis League, and I'm uncomfortable pointing my finger just yet. But to quote Coach Vern, "I'm just sayin'!!!" May well be worth some investigation, particularly since Julie and Susan both attest to hearing similar historical accounts (centering on Woburn's ability to hold a racket in one hand and a cigarette in the other) from their tennis playing mothers. Could be related. Other worthy mentionables:- A la Betsey: "Did that woman actually give us all the finger after the match? I think she held her finger up much longer than required for her story!"
- Lisa demonstrated an ability to "Just Listen!!!" to a story while searching out a chairback for a self-imposed Heimlich maneuver.
- Dorian: "So, Bob and Wendy go to Jamaica..."
- Jeannie wore her cammo attire AND WON, in addition to learning some new politically correct language. Who knew?
- Harvard graduate and American professional tennis player, Thomas Blake, was coaching an amazing youth player while we were there. Thomas has more hair than his 8th World-ranked brother, James. Way more.
- Scissor kicks are easy. Scissor kicks while following through on your forehand are not. Ask Dorian for a demonstration.
Finally, remember. No wraps. Not even for Thanksgiving leftovers...

Oh Boy....love the picture..Sounds like we missed most of the stuff and fun conversation while we were busy playing, and Dorian was doing her scissor splits. Too bad..
