Good morning folks. Yes, normally Monday morning is a time to be a bit sluggish as one starts the work week. Well, not this week. 80 degrees and sunny and ready to hit the courts for another practice.
As usual, in condo VDL 1/7 we have a tale of two coaches. Yours truly up early and to the gym followed by a blog update for your benefit, and now ready to make a coaches breakfast. The old coach, Coach Tarangioli, still asleep. I am willing to cut him a little slack as he is still recovering from a bad cold, which has prompted the ever so kind act of my keeping the air conditioner fixed to above 65 degrees in the condo. By this time, I would have that thermostat hovering around 58 degrees, but hey, even I have a heart.
We have a 10am practice and then hopefully some time to relax at the pool or beach...perhaps some sight-seeing in town. I have been coming here since 1987, with some gaps, and have continued my Ponce de Leon-esque search for the famed fountain of youth, but have yet to be successful. We will hit the courts for a second practice in the afternoon sun, which will be our final practice before match play.
Today I will institute a strict sunscreen rule. Many players did not use the good judgement with respect to sunscreen application and have come away looking the color of last night's lobster at the South Beach Grill.
Ok, I must now wake up Coach T. Time to make the donuts.

Hmm, It all depends on what time, "Monday morning" means. 6am, 8am? Finding The Fountain of Youth? Hey, as long as you can get up early, enjoy your day, hit a few balls, and be able to continue to build your, "Clipper Armada", you might already be soaking in it! All the Best!
