2023/01/01

Episode #31 discusses my addiction to Little Debbie's and why I weigh more than I ever have. I also talk about why pickleball requires clubs to post signs about "etiquette" and "sportsmanship" and should they have to. My daughter Annie also bailed out on the family to start her new life and just like my students, I hope we prepared her for the big match. I have a chance to win my fantasy football league too, which would be my greatest victory as a human. The tennis discussion involves how to use

I would suggest passing on this episode. I discuss some of the usual tennis and pickleball items that interest me while dealing with my first Covid experience. After three straight days in the basement I needed something to do, probably not my best effort. But a good coach once told me "effort beats half the competition" so I'm going with trying to beat half the podcast world. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-ficks06/message
