Every Saturday Gary goes to a tennis lesson at Thorbeckes from 9:00 am until noon. Someone would have to be dying for him to even consider missing practice. It is a Skills & Drills class taught by TJ Underwood, the Tennis director.
Last Saturday morning, I was getting ready to go visit my brother Grover in Woodland, WA for his family Christmas. Gary had a match later in the day and realized he wouldn't be able to take the lesson and go to a family function with me. He was getting ready to climb in the shower and this was our conversation:
Kirsten: "What are you doing?"
Gary: "Taking a shower."
Kirsten: "Don't you have tennis practice this morning?"
Gary: "Yes."
Kirsten: "And you are taking a shower before practice?"
Gary: "Yes."
Kirsten: "Why didn't you take one before you went to bed last night?"
Gary: No response
I think I just might have to pop into Thorbeckes next Saturday to see what happens at lessons!!

Well, considering that EVERYONE at Thorbecke's knows Dad's name and greets him as he walks to/from the courts, I'm assuming he really is just a tennis-junky!
Sorry, that last comment is from Michelle- I'm on Derrick's computer.
