Finally checked my table tennis rating with the US Association of Table Tennis (USATT). I knew I lost some points, and didn't want to see how much. Turns out it was 55 points. Not as bad as it might have been. My brother, Rick, who had been just a dozen points ahead of me, jumped 40 points, putting him about 100 points ahead. Little brother. This should not be.
I guess I'll have to work extra hard for the upcoming spring tournaments.
Career-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
Had I not lost to that punk in the finals of the U1350, I would have gone up even higher, because he was 200 points below me.
