Entry: More Hector Than Achilles Sunday, May 23, 2004



It is not over yet, but I it's been a decent weekend.  Though, at the moment I'm feeling a little down.  I had my seventh match of the year today, second at #1 singles, and had my five match winning streak halted, 6-2, 6-1.  No part of my game was on today, save my serve, which was surprisingly good today.  I started out going shot for shot with the guy but soon faded with an avalanche of errors.  My opponent was very good and probably forced me into a lot of those errors, but it was just frustrating.  After seeing "Troy" yesterday with Jana, I tried to pump myself up while thinking about how Achilles would fight hard in such a situation.  It became evident however, on this day, I would be playing the part of Hector and my opponent Achilles.  I'm a good player, but perhaps was just overmatched today.  There will be other battles.  ( I think I liked Hector better than Achilles by the way. )

I got a few more little projects done this weekend.  After planting several shrubs in the front flower beds last weekend, I added a little more color yesterday with some verigated ornamental grass along the sidewalk.  There is much more to be done, but it is a great start.  Doesn't look as barren.  I also replaced the drive wheel on my lawn mower, and changed the oil in my car this morning.  Friday night I finished installing the new hardware in our master closet.  I'm very pleased with the change.  Earlier in the week I moved the steps on my deck from one side to another.  Also a very nice change.

We have another baby appointment tommorrow.  Hopefully we will get some GOOD news this time.  Last week was a little nerve racking.  Your baby isnt growing, oh yes he is, well we will just keep a watch on him.  Oh shut up!  I've grown weary of the over exaggerating.  My baby is going to be just perfect.  Hush your flappers!

See you soon...
