The swing of things

Caitlin and I are on our first full week of school, she in the classroom and me on the tennis courts. Our second practice was fun. We lost the parked cars and gained a head coach. Coach Phil is a riot. He's basically the opposite of me: tons of coaching experience, but not too familiar with the game. I think we'll work well together. I played skyball with the kids today. Think they enjoyed it.

Caitlin, meanwhile, has four — FOUR! — boys named Lorenzo in her 2nd-grade class. So if she doesn't know who threw the paper airplane in class, there's a 20 percent chance it was a Lorenzo.

We take the 5 p.m. bus home from school, whereupon we decide what to do the rest of the day. Today, we went with "drink beer, eat pizza, read books, take a stroll, bed by 9:30." Good call.

By the way, I was trying to think of a good post title for my last post. There just HAS to be a great pun involving cars parked on tennis courts. Any thoughts?

  1. Tell Caitlin we need a post all about her class and how teaching is going. I've been thinking about her for the past two weeks wondering!

    Also, have you learned any tennis terms in Italian? Do you need to use them or does everyone understand English (I'm assuming the latter since it sounded like it was some international type school, but I'm trying to accurately picture you teaching tennis). :)

    Cheers! Miss you guys bunches!
