“I’ve always enjoyed swimming, but not so much with my classmates for obvious reasons, and though I was part of the track team for three years, I didn’t particularly enjoy that in class, either. It was always tennis that I liked best. Not many stood a chance against me, as it’s been a habit to go to the country club any weekend I can get away to play.” 

"Now, favorite memory…? The exam for our tennis unit in grade 10 involved combining the all-male class with the all-female class for a tournament. Boys against girls. Of course, we all wore our standard gym attire, but many of the girls hadn’t seen just how short our shorts were.

"Thus began the teasing and taunting on both sides, even though it was all rubbish because as nice and short as they were, the baggy t-shirts we were forced to wear left much to be desired as far as attractive sportswear was concerned. 

"…regardless, our team lost by a narrow margin. Most of the blokes on my team really did not care for the sport or participation in general, anyway, so it wasn’t a surprise. But, I did receive several compliments from the girls on my legs. Again, track team. Ah, blessed tennis shorts."
