I had a good night at the Three Rivers Table Tennis Club. Only lost once, that to Mike, whom I've never beaten in four years, and I at least won a game off him, losing 3-1. Jenning, an Asian player, and I go at it every week. We're very even. Sometimes he wins, sometimes I win, and it always goes down to the wire. Tonight I won, 3 games to 2, and it was 11-9 in the last game. Had two other matches that went to five games, and I won both of them. So it was a good night.

Got the big St. Joseph Valley tournament coming up the first weekend in May in South Bend. Plan to play in three categories, all the same day, so really need to prepare these next few weeks. I want to get my rating up to 1200 this year. That's a 90-point increase, and I only have three tournaments to do it (South Bend, Indy, and Highland).
