Suburban life

The next couple of days, I took it easy again.

T drove me up to Ikea Emeryville where I wanted to get the Capita 8″ legs. We took the scenic route, which means it was longer and off the expressway, we went through Berkeley.

And it was a good drive with distant views of the city.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get good pictures of the city.

Here’s one crappy attempt:

That’s expensive houses in Oakland with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background.

Then I experienced more suburban life: the tennis club tournaments. That’s not what it’s called. But the tennis clubs of country clubs, sports clubs and the like, all have tournaments that can, apparently, get quite competitive.

Oh yes, there was a lot of plotting and scheming in the game I saw.

Yes, the quiet politics of social tennis.

  1. OI!!! That’s actually a pretty good action shot on my forehand return. Must get a copy to show my coach that I was LOOKING at the ball for once! 🙂
