Strangers With Good Ground Srokes

You just never know who you might meet while walking in the park. While basking in a beautiful spring Wednesday over at Prairie Winds Park having pulled myself from a tax file, I strode across the singles tennis back board and stumbled into brief pleasantries with a quiet spoken British fellow. It was his first day out and without a partner and assuming he was a novice, I introduced him to a web site where he can pick up a hitting partner. I did one of those - "and one more thing" exits and gave him my card mentioning that I play.......a splendid move indeed 'cause we just got off the court. The fellow has played for over 40 years and his ground strokes are excellent. He competed here in Calgary as a youth and I'm blessed to have made a new friend and hitting partner. Let's continue spinning the ball between the baselines Sandy Man.
