Raining off and on today so we only managed to play pickleball this morning. Looking forward to playing cards with Bruce and Jeana, our new friends from Sarasota. Bruce is recently retired for the Sarasota PD Forensics Unit.
For those interested, pickleball is played with a paddle similar to a ping pong paddle, but thicker and longer, and a 3" diameter wiffleball. Service is underhanded and done diagonally to the opposite side of the net. Volleying is then much as in tennis or badminton. The ball must bounce once after the serve. It can bounce only once or not at at all before it is returned across the net. Overhand smashes and lobs are permitted. Many schools also have it as an indoor game which uses a slightly larger diameter wiffleball with more holes in it than the outside ball. Inside ball is slower than outside ball. The outside game also takes the wind into consideration which at times can be quite challenging. This game is fast and lots of fun.
I watched many of the Super Bowl commercials down here. This one is an older Bud commercial that is hilarious. My thanks to Kawal for sending it to me.
