I had my first tennis lesson yesterday. It was fun, but it's much harder than I thought. Just learning how to grip the handle was hard. I actually split open the skin on one of my knuckles. Hey, I'm a delicate flower, what can I say?

But the instructor did say I have good form. (Ahem.) I hope I learn enough in the next five weeks to be able to play with another person and not totally embarrass myself. I totally want to be one of those people who goes, "Hey, you wanna play a little tennis?" Yeah, I know, I'm really easy to please. (Spread it around.)
