Hey, guys!
This weekend I went to Vegas for the first annual Hardbat Ping-Pong Championship. I was interested b/c my Dad has held a weekly table tennis game for as long as I can remember. He & his buddies are really, really, REALLY good, so I have a strong affinity and respect for the sport & thought it would be great to fly out and see the pros. I’m hoping next year I can bring my Dad out with me and see how he fares in the competition. Actually, maybe I should ask him to coach me— I couldn’t believe how professional the players were- they had jackets, coaches, special rituals- lemme tell you; it was SERIOUS. I met All-Stars Mitch and Tall, who were both great guys and great pong players, and the ever-so-talented Judah Frielander hosted the event brilliantly. My hubby and I stayed at the Venetian (which I always love!), and just enjoyed a really fantastic get-away weekend together! This week it’s back to work—which I’ll post more on later!
