I'm not Finished
I haven't written much lately, so I think a third post is in order this evening.
I played an awesome doubles match tonight with three of the summer actuarial interns. Two of the interns are both respectable players and the third one was phenominal (he played #1 singles at his high school a few years ago). We had an intense 7-6 7-5 doubles match (I lost). My partner and I struggled a bit since the #1 singles player lost like 4-5 points on his serve the whole match (over 6 service games). There were very few service breaks for either side, though the only time my serve was broken was when I tried to force the second set tiebreak.
On the bright side, my net game was better than it has been in years. Between the match I played on Friday and the match today, my net game was surprisingly good. I was really happy with how I played, and I look forward to playing a lot more tennis with those three this summer now that we all live in the same apartment complex. Unfortunately, my recurring tennis elbow hurts like crazy right now. I have had constant soreness in my right elbow for the past 6-7 years. It bothers me a little when playing tennis and hurts like hell when I throw a softball. I have a feeling I will be in pain at my softball game this week. I've resisited playing tennis with an elbow brace in the past because I have never felt comfortable wearing one, but I am going to give it another shot because the pain is pretty bad right now.
On another subject, there have not been many comments lately. I know some of you have been away on vacation lately (but thank you to those of you who have commented while away). Am I boring you all? What can I write about that will bring us back to the exciting days of ten comment posts. I'll take suggestions.

Gary,
What perfect timing for you to request comments. I have been "secretly" reading your post for about a month now. Does it make you feel better that there could be others like me out there who read but don't comment? It's sort of like I'm eavesdropping on a conversation between two strangers and if I commented that would be weird..?!?!?! At least with this so called eavesdropping I'm doing when reading your blog I can sit with my mouth wide open and not get scolded for gawking at you!
katie, gary loves it when people "pay attention to him," so i'm sure he more than welcomes any comments from you.
gary, thank you for the multiple drunk dials. unfortunately, my phone was in the living room so I didn't hear it. I would have loved to have heard you serenade me with whatever song was on the radio. luckily, you didn't wake my dad up (he was sleeping in the living room that night).
Katie,
Mouse nailed it perfectly. Thank you for 'paying attention to me'. Hope you enjoyed the site.
Mouse,
I only called once. I was only semi-drunk, so I was not belligerent enough to call multiple times. I don't know who the other callers were.
The song on the radio was "Don't you Want me Baby". Admit it. It's true.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! oh. my. god. I just laughed for a good 5 minutes. of course it's true, gary. of course. I'm so, so sorry that I missed that.
gary, are you still taking suggestions? I think you should write an entire post centered around the facial expressions displayed in this picture. preferrably those of the two actuaries in the back there.
I'll refrain from making any more redheaded slut jokes.
