Tennis







Dad brought our tennis stuff with him when he came.  We played three times while he was here, once at a tennis club in Tel-Aviv, and twice at the club in Jerusalem.  The club in Jerusalem was really nice and we met some friendly people.  After we played the second time, a guy came to ask Dad if he wanted to play doubles. We figured he meant that Dad would be the fourth, but he meant for Dad and me to play him and his partner (Zacharia and Moshe). Luckily, I eventually remembered how to put a serve in and we smoked them, 6-2, 6-0.  They were very impressed with how good Dad was.  After one particularly nice point, one of them asked how old he was. They were shocked to find out he was 60. They were 50 and 45.  As one of them put it, "We are old but with ambition." Maybe next time guys.
