Ping Pong

Early in college, I began to take table tennis seriously---i.e. sticky rubber and fancy serves. I've played regularly in streaks in the years since.

Tried it again tonight so I'm kinda sore. The rubber on the paddles was in pretty good shape considering it was over five years old.

Better shape than me, who lost 6 games in a row to my son.

The governing organizations keep messing with the rules. Now my best serve is illegal and games go to 11 instead of 21. You only get 2 serves before it goes over. I think they do it to make it more attractive for TV---but they still don't get on TV.
