Tennis Champ

Now, I don't want to brag, really, I don't. But I'm going to. You see, I've never been too much of an athlete. Sure, I played a lot when I was a kid, but over the years, I've slacked off. Well, I'm regaining my sports side, and we all know about the Cubs game, Pacers game, and oh yes, that glorious day of skiing in Vail.

Well, last year the Chorale started a new tradition. Since the Chorale people are always staying around to sing in graduation with nothing to do after finals, we decided, of course, to start a tennis championship. Well, last year was amazing. My partner was Hugh Conor Angell, and it was rough, but ended up with the title. 2004 Chorale Tennis Champions.

Well, last night I was informed that the second annual championship was at 9 this morning. Well, already being here for Joy's graduation, I thought I'd just stop by. You know, do an opening serve or something. Well, it worked out for me to play again, and not just play, but be partners with Hugh Conor Angell. We played three rough sets. In the second, we were down 4-1, but came back to win 6-4. Then it was pushing towards a glorious ending, where we once again claimed the title. Oh yes, oh yes. 2005 Chorale Tennis Champions.

Next year Conor will be a senior. You better believe I'll be back for a third victory.

Stephen, I can't believe you played in the chorale tennis tournament. I mean, it's great, but if you keep coming back, how will anyone else win the title?

All I can say Andrew, is practice, get a partner, and be my competition.
