Battle to the…Beer?

Posted on 27. May, 2009 by David Haysom in Calgary, Games

I thought that I might share with you a pastime that Ryan and I have been expending much of our energy forthwith this season and that is the game of tennis. We have formally invited Erik to joins us, but he is petrified of the unusually skimpy attire that goes along with the game’s dress code. Who wears short shorts? Erik doesn’t wear short shorts. No matter, the game is best played with two, and so Ryan and I have been dueling every fortnight along the shores of the reservoir where the nets meet their challengers under the blazing Calgarian sun. The victor is garnished in flowered wreaths and is carried off to the palace of delectable feasts and wine.

I suppose if I had to put it more accurately I would say that we play on the public courts where mosquitos are rampant, the nets have seen a few too many winters, and a run down pub is across the street, but HEY! One man’s trash….you know how it goes.

I tip my hat to you,

David.

It must be said that if one was to take a picture of David and I on the tennis court, it would appear to the untrained eye that, indeed, I would come out victorious.

That being said, it is, sadly, far from the truth. In the many years that David and I have battled on the tennis tundra I have been victorious...once. Not for lack of effort or skill, but my comrade has the ability to get in my head.

A word of warning, my bearded friend...you will go down this year.

Just because 2009 is Juri's, doesn't mean jack on the court...

It's on.

Well Dave, I shall tell you this...Ryan has better form but I continue to conquer him with a superior mental game. He can't concentrate when he plays me, because my new beard that I am sporting presented with a spasmodic backhand reminds him of a chimpanzee in desperate need of a sedative.

David,
You neglected to indicate whom is more often the victor of these encounters. Low I am sure little import is placed on such inconsequential tasks as score keeping. Nevertheless, inquiring minds...
