I had my first tennis lesson last night—and I loved it! Sure I'm graceless and have less coordination than a stick, but I'm among friends! I did suggest that our class begin a new form of the sport: air tennis. I argued that, especially for newbies, it was so much easier whacking at the air than a bouncy greenish ball.

I bet the instructor is considering the possibilities.

I was chasing my ball in the opening moments, and cried out, "Oooooh! It's a running sport!" I usually stray from contact sports...because I have four limbs and have been armed with the ability to operate only two at any given time. Tennis will be interesting.
