Gosh,what a great year,and absolutely wonderful finish to take title of the most difficult tourney I have seen in 27 years playing!!!!!!

I feel a debt of gratitude throughout my soul,and could not be more pleased with our play as a very "tight-in the zone" team.
For the locals out here,y'all know how far RC and I have come,and our struggles on the big courts.......

.communication,patience,practice,faith,skill,grace,and plain ole freekin putting a beating on that fireball.what a blast!!!!!!!WE PULLED IT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This ole veteran teamed with a young,agile,super-talented great singles player 3 years ago,and we became a doubles team to be reckoned with.......what a trip!!!!!!!!!!!
I am greatful that I played near my potential,cuz if not,well...........too many good teams can find any weekness.We did not have a week spot in this tourney,and the teams we battled had nuclear devices of their own!!!!!!!If my partner is on,I better be,or I am misirable!!!!! TEAMWORK at its FINEST....I absolutely am on a high from this one!!!!!!!

Rubes turnes 55 Sunday,and I am happy we pulled of a championship at Ponderosa on Monday 7/16/07. Again.the talent is amazing as So. Cal's teams seem to be getting "dialed",so we had our hands full to say the least,while Rube's dug deep,as we sqeeked by.
