#190 Foiled Again

I haven’t played tennis since my group lessons ended in May. I did get on a wait list to be a sub for a mixed doubles league. Subs play for free! I figured that would allow me to play all summer according to my schedule. I naively thought I’d be the only one on the sub list. So they sent an e-mail out a couple weeks ago asking for two subs. I had given them my personal e-mail address so I didn’t respond until after 5 p.m. Subs are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. I was not first. Or second. I gave them my work e-mail so I could be faster the next time. Well, I was out of the office last Friday afternoon and THAT’S when they sent the e-mail. Darn it!
