Tennis, Pickleball, Pizza, Red Wine and friends these are a few of my favourite things. Welcome to my small space on the internet. Come stay a while.

Let's be honest: pickleball can be incredibly frustrating. I’m putting it out there because I know I’m not alone. Anyone who's tried to learn a new skill, whether it's a sport, cooking, or building something, understands that progress isn’t always linear. Some days, it clicks; other days, you just shake your head in disbelief. And yes, there's also a thing called "pickleball politics," which we'll delve into later.
One and done and its in the books. I have now officially played my first “outside” pickleball tournament and it was an interesting experience. Lot of great observations from playing it. So…where to begin. When I say first outside event, I mean that its the first event not played at the club where I am a member. One that would involve playing people you have never played again
Yes, I can well imagine that probably no one cares about anyone’s recap. As 2024 came to a close the media, especially old style print would provide all kinds of the “best of” in various categories. The best movies, TV show, theatre, books etc…etc. I wouldn’t look at all of them but when I did I usually would realize that I had actually not seen or read many of the best of the best. The Toronto Star listed the following movies as the best of 2024.
My list of places included Mayfair, Glendon College,Fairgrounds and a new place called the Jar. I have to be more selective because I don’t have a car for the winter so getting to places that are far away is simply not an option. I thought Mayfair would be a good choice because they have made physical changes to their clubs by replacing tennis courts with new pickleball courts.
