Napsters #1

It’s must be That Time of Year. Invites are pouring in from, well, “Invite” for reunion.com and something called Plaxo, which is, we’re told, sort of a Facebook for adults … whatever Facebook is. “A greeting from a classmate” reads another quarantined, virus-laden email. With 1,200 of our closest tennis friends on our own plaxoreunionbook, we need someone to explain (23 words of less) what value any of those things would add to our life … or not.

Championship in January

Long Cove Napsters Finish on Top in Adult Team Tennis, Set as #1 Seed for Districts

HILTON HEAD ISLAND SC (TENNIS E-News via Tim Ryan) -- Long Cove was able to pull off an Adult Team Tennis two-peat as they finished the regular season with 354 games, thus earning the #1 seed in next month’s District Championships to be held here.
