While we visited camp for the first time back in July of 23, to close on the house, we were simply playing PB during “open play”. It was fun, enjoyable and Stone Creek has a big group – and they were putting the finishing touches on 8 new courts. About 8 weeks later I went…
Boston Globe – Title IX and what to do …
Girls rule and Boys drool – ( I had to look up how to spell drool – I am definitely a boy, just a really old boy). Way slower and than my sisters, cousins, the neighborhood girls, in both education and sports … until I wasn’t, it just took way longer. Now that I play…
Adaptability, Age and Pickleball.
As I get older and older …. This is my birthday week …. I have begun to really like this word. It says “easy going, flexible, able to adjust” It also says, “Change it up, I’ll consider it …. give it a try, move forward. In Pickleball context, gauge the competition …. sometimes you slam,…

Pickleball is great once again … I already miss my FL PB friends and I haven’t left yet.
We are starting our winter 2022 wind down. Only 2 weeks until our first trek back to MA. I like to drive, see some backroads, small towns etc… It rare that the 3 of us actually play together often as PB sorting doesn’t work so smoothly. We can have anyone as a fourth …. as…
WSJ – Article lead, Tom Brady not ready for Pickleball. PB is everywhere, Hurry up Tom, we’re waiting.
Hurry up Tom, we’re waiting, PB wants you. Watch some videos on YouTube. I’m sure your hand eye coordination is pretty good. We have courts in Ocala FL, and Sturbridge MA. I’ll get a few guys, my wife will take on anyone, bring the kids, we have a pool. Good times .. Good times.
Traveling for a week, from FL to AZ. Pickleball plays a pivotal roll again.
We have had a spectacular time … too much to write at the moment. I’ll leave you with how PB allows you to make new friends at a moments notice. We spent the morning roaming the Saguaro National Park in Tucson. There are really no words to use, that give enough thanks, to the Park…

NYT – The Benefits of ‘Wise Selfishness’ –
A story about the nyt happiness writer and his visit to the Dali lama and a conversation about selfishness – My Howard Theory on this is age old. I learned it and have been practicing it forever. It is one of the 3 or 4 base tenets of my life. (My earliest memory, maybe age…
