Singles with Steve K. (older, skilled, and crafty)

First game neither of us could score until the 17th serve when Steve hit an ace. I was thinking that the longer match would play to my favor, but it was really over right then as he pulled away and won 10-21.

Second game he led early and I came back to 9-10 before falling 14-21.

Third game was very close and ultimately tied at 15. I lost 15-21, showing how little the "long" match helped me.

All night he played well and I was just a bit off; obviously a very bad confluence.

Around the World @ 15

Pool was very warm; I started my watch late (and backfilled the time for the first set) and felt the "time off".

Cutthroat with Tim (young, quick, and good) and older Steve (good and smart); time discounted

Played very streaky, but my serve was apparently quite successful. Good thing, too, as little else was.

First game: Led 7-0-0, trailed 7-8-10, took six in a row to lead 16-12-14, won 21-18-15.

Second game: Trailed 0-5-8, won eleven in a row to lead 18-10-14, won 21-15-14.

Then, showing my wisdom, I "took my ball and went home".
