Waiting Not So Patiently

Our 6-year old son William has been watching Santa's worldwide progress all afternoon.  

God I Love Being........

a Browns Fan. 

What a day for GBR

Andy Murray won the key match today against David Goffin to clinch Great Britains first Davis Cup since 1936.

Paying the Price

This is what happens when your doubles partner leaves you "out to dry" by hitting a short lob to the guy who's stalking 6 feet in front of you at the net. 

Best Buddies

William and his cousin Greyson spent the evening together at my parent's house. They love to play outside, inside, wherever. It wears my parents down, but they love spending time with all the grand children ! 

Halloweeny Happeneeny

6-year old stud

My son is destined to be great at something. He is the best combination of loveable, kind, cute, sporty, selfless, hard-working. He's what I wish I could have been when I was his age, and I'm confident he will be a better man than I. 

Why

Why do people park here ?

Cozy Saturday Night

Believe it or not, this is the first campfire we've had ALL summer. 

Whaddya Think

Just picked up these loafers at Bryant's Shoe Store this week.  

Clenched Fist tells it All

Here's a photo from the first couple minutes of William's recent dentist appointment with Dr Fulton. He was nervous but soon began to relax. 

Sad but True

Driving home from FCC tonight and took this photo of the sunsetting over downtown. 

Flawless Performance

Hit a milestone with the Prius tonight.  This automobile has not missed a beat since I purchased it four years ago. In two years we pass it on to our daughter and I have full confidence it will take good care of her. 

Amazing Day

With enough name tags for 400 possible visitors, we ran out of them with an hour remaining in our open house celebration at Twos Athletic Club today ! 

The day was so encouraging for all of us. Opening day October 5th. 

Here is a photo I took of Laurel Hill developer Norm Heydinger. We named the player lounge in his name as a tribute to his vision to create such a great club in 1965. 

I Love these Girls

Have had a great time this summer mentoring MaKayla and Madison Schroeder. This weekend they won the WBL Doubles Championship. Way to go girls - YOU'RE SICK !!!!!!

Late Summer Landscaping

Parents ripped out the old shrubs from the front on their house. Today we replaced them with these fresh looking grasses and hostas. 

Remember When......

Back in the day, the clay courts at Northridge Club weren't too bad.  Now, they're junk. 

Free Time

A few times a week I love going to the gym. Not much time in the summer, but it feels great to come in to the air-conditioned Planet Fitness for a while. 

 

Nuf Said

Fabio became a man tonight. 

Guess who ?

Do you know who this shadowy figure is ?  If you think you do, email me at bobstennis@gmail.com 

Saturday tennis in Mason

Saturday was William's day to go with me to the Western-Southern Open in Mason. 

Our first trip here together. A day I'll never forget. Ever. 

He does like his ice cream. 

Making sure he appreciates history, I took him inside the tournament museum. 

William's turn with Roger. 

Enjoying some doubles on grandstand court. 

Of course the day wouldn't be complete unless we got to see our favorite player !

Time to go home. 

Thursday Tennis in Mason

Took Emma to Mason and she had a great time - I think. 

At the ESPN stage. 

Emma's sushi lunch. 

Posing with Roger. 

Time to go home after a long fun day!

A fun day in Mason

Made the annual trek to Mason Ohio today to watch some tennis. Here's a couple photos.  More to come after my Thursday and Saturday visits. 

First Day Complete

First day of school is in the books. 179 days to go til next summer vacation. 

Birthday Party

August 15th this year marked my father's 70th and my 48th birthday. We got together at my parent's house with family for food and fun.
