Here It Is!
I promised Dan the Man that I would have a photo of myself up before midnight, and so here it is. I had trouble uploading several different ones, so this is the one I came up with. This is a shot of me serving to my cousin Mary Beth while we were attending a small reunion in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia last summer. Enjoy this if you can, 'cause I won't post many of these.

I'm assuming you aced that serve. In addition to the picture, I was nudging you to post again, which you have done, so I have succeeded!
I hope you're well...
Foot fault! Second serve.......
Good shot
Who won?
Thanks Dan. Yes, you succeeded. Duke, that is an optical illusion of a foot fault. The shadow makes it hard to get a good look at it, but there were no foot faults in the game. And now to the old paratrooper's quesion. I won 6-4. This was a major improvement over 3 years ago when Mary Beth started playing tennis, (and I beat her 8-0.) She plays three times a week year round (in Charlotte--that's down south of us you know.) So I either need to retire from the sport now, or play more often before I take her on again. Tennis anyone?
Oh, I almost forgot, does anyone want to see a pic of Mary Beth during the game? Does Mary Beth want me to show one?
good shot!
Perhaps an optical delusion.....believe it or not I'm playing tennis this weekend; first time in about 5 or so years for me. We're going to be in Palm Springs for an industry event, and a group with whom I normally play golf has decided to play tennis, probably because the hotel has grass courts. Looking forward to it although I can't find a tennis racquet in our house! Planning on accepting hte hospitality of otthers I guess......
I called my friends at the NFL(instant replay) and the ATP to review your picture and Jduke is correct. There is a foot fault infraction according to their super-dooper shadow removing camera systems. Since you did not call it on yourself, you have two choices; either forfeit the match or play it over within 72 hours of being brought up on foot fault charges.
The ball is in your court...
Good luck to the Duke this w/e. Hope you don't injur yourself. You probably play customer tennis--that is, you let them win. So I won't ask. Have fun anyway. As for the old paratrooper, NFL has no juristiction here and they have no business in what was a friendly game between two cousins less than a month apart in age. As I said earlier, "There were no foot-faults." And that is final!
Uhhhh...her picture shows no rules infractions :)
Like I said, "There were no foot-faults in the match."
