These tennis courts, which are adjacent to a rolling field in Oz Bossy’s neighborhood.
For the most part these six courts sit unused. Except last night, when Bossy and her husband showed up with some yard sale tennis rackets, and for a solid hour did their impression of Serena Williams and Roger Federer, as played by the Marx Brothers.

May 29, 2009 at 9:44 amI think the tennis last night contributed more to the lack of sleep (see main post) than the rain! All that new and exciting exercise, the muscles were twitching in response, all night long!

May 29, 2009 at 11:49 amSadly, my husband is a very good tennis player, so I’m not able to play my Marx-ian game without frustration and irritation….. Too bad. And those courts look nice!

May 29, 2009 at 6:05 pmI adore Roger. And Andre Agassi. Was he there too? How about Steffi Graf? Would have thought Bossy was built more along the Steffi lines than the Serena lines…
Just sayin’

May 29, 2009 at 11:14 pmMy sisters and I used to do that on the tennis courts at the high school across the street from my dad’s house. We would only go to play when there was no one on ANY of the three courts, though, because we were so terrible that we would hit the balls into the other courts by accident, and then we’d just switch courts rather than run all over creation trying to corral them. So, long story short, if you ever want a tennis partner whose Marx sister’s butt you can kick, give me a call.
