Swing Shift

As thankful as I am to have not grown up in the digital age, I do regret that we barely have a single photo -- let alone video -- of our engaging in what we spent our entire childhoods doing: PLAYING TENNIS. Here's a rare snapshot of my friend Greg and me -- obviously staged or else neither of us would have been anywhere near the net -- going at it. 

This had to be pre-1987 or else I'd have switched to my Steffi one-hander! It's probably just as well that we didn't have smartphones, though. Our hard drives would have been filled with videos of us imitating our favorite players. What I'd give to see Greg's Bettina Bunge right now!
