There are times - like now - that I begin to think I should not try to get any better at squash. It only results in late nights because everyone is better at keeping the rallies going longer. Well, really it's not my fault; I'm all for ending the rallies as soon as possible ( Read more... )

The squash club is after 100 spiffy tops and I was the foolish graphic designer who said he could get them. Yes, I bragged, I have contacts. Sure, I said, I can get you a sample top. No, I didn't mention that I'd never spoken more than once on the phone to this guy. No, I didn't know that this contact was actually out in the middle of nowhere. I ( Read more... )

I've been getting headaches since last Friday and they don't seem to be going away. The neurofen tablets have done pretty much squat. I think placebos would have done equally well.

These boxes fell prey to a stanley knife, the ripping motion of my arms and ( Read more... )

We are squash champions for the season. Go team us! It all turned very anticlimatic when John and I won our matches, basically meaning that it was all over. All the tension drifted away as we just waited for the dead rubbers to be played out. My own game was as one sided as could be and it really put the other team out of the championship. Actually ( Read more... )

We are through to the grand final of squash thanks in no small part to the work of yours truely. I've come back into some form to win 9-7 9-3 9-6 while playing higher in the team ranking. Strangely, I felt very nervous; dry throat, upset stomach. Once actually playing I felt quite good. So... I'm v happy. This makes three seasons running I've been ( Read more... )
