Last week I took the priests out to complete the requirement to teach/learn a new sport. Jeff and I combined to have enough
rackets for 6 boys, so took them to the tennis courts behind the high school. The teaching lasted about 2 minutes when one of the boys launched a ball into a group of other boys and it was all out war. For the next 45 minutes the boys launched balls at each other as hard as they could. There were only about 3 direct hits until Bishop Adams showed up. As he stepped onto the courts, he got nailed right where it counts. He let out a low groan, then continued talking to me and a couple of others. A few minutes later, boom, he got nailed again. This time he went down hard. As he got up, he said he was
grateful he already had all the kids he was going to have. We ate chocolate cake afterwards. I went home with Jeff and played a quick game of ping pong with him with a new ping pong paddle I just got off
ebay. It's a
Yasaka Mark V and is really sticky so puts lots of nice spin on the ball. Not a bad $10 investment to be able to beat my little brother.
