Okay. Went off-island for four days. Wireless laptop went along. Wireless laptop refused to communicate

with the Internet. Inlaws' Internet connection was dysfunctional. Sorry 'bout that. We're back.

The Whole Weekend in One Gulp

Quiznos Championships Come Down to Lots of Three-Setters

HILTON HEAD ISLAND SC (TENNIS E-News) -- Quiznos Sub Tennis Classic Director Jackie Reynecke dutifully emailed daily results nightly over the weekend.

Or whenever.

Here are the complete results. (Note: Some players don't know whether they live on Hilton Head Island or across the bridge on Hilton Head. For expediency purposes this time, HHI & HH players are lumped together. All others are designated.):

Faulty Intelligence:

In the TENNIS E-News story Thursday, the scholarship noted is the Toni Sarver (not Tony) scholarship and the Women's Tennis Organization (WTO) is under the SCTA-Sun City Tennis Association.

Also, the women's tennis teams were flattered, so one said, to be listed as leading a men's division, but 'tain't so. And we hope to get it correct next time around.

If you missed both of those, you're not reading closely enough. Or, your laptop is disconnected.
