Acceptance Speech

Barb won many awards on the pickleball Forum for making up pickleball names about more and more stuff.  She spends hours and hours thinking up pickleball names for The Forum and everyone on The Forum is always commenting on her dedicated efforts to find hundreds of things to relate to pickleball.  So when she won another award, she thought she should make an acceptance speech.  She worked on it for a while and it was very funny.  She started by saying OMG I should have written a speech.  OMG I never thought I would win. OMG I have so many people to thank.  Then she thanked The Academy and her Mom and Dad and me and all the little people that have helped her.

Crazy Peter

When we were visiting our old park at Crystal Lake, Barb was driving around in Daphne's golf cart to visit some friends and she ran into my old friend Peter.  He asked about me.  He said, "Is he still ... tall?"  Crazy Peter.

Dave and Dave

Barb's old friend Dave from Crystal Lake was playing with another fellow that Barb knew.  His name was Dave too.  So it was Dave and Dave when they introduced themselves to the other teams before the games.  There was another team of men at the same tournament who were both named Dave.  Barb thought wouldn't it be funny when they play each other.  Dave and Dave against Dave and Dave.  Unfortunately, they were in different divisions.

Bam Bam

Barb and I went to Sebring together for Barb's pickleball tournament.  I sat with her friends and cheered her on.  They were all saying great shot Bam Bam like the old days when we lived there.

Forum Fun Again

The pickleball forum started another game to name pickleball songs.  Barb went on Google again and started listing songs like Poocher Face and she was naming so many songs that people on the list were commenting about her.  One person realized that she had gotten up to W on the list of songs she found on Google.  Her favourite song title was not one of hers but someone else sent in, Can't Get No Smashing Action.  However, Barb won the prize for the most song names and won an autographed pickleball magazine.

Famous Wife

Barb found out that her name was in the local paper for being runner-up in The Villages ladies pickleball tournament.  We don't get the paper.  So Barb went next door to borrow the paper from Gerry and read me the article.

Really Dirty Glasses

Often I take off my glasses to read.  Anyway, I didn't have my glasses on when I got up to go to the bathroom.  I grabbed what I thought were my glasses off the counter and put them on on the way to the bathroom.  When I got there I could barely see myself in the mirror.  I thought boy are these glasses ever dirty.  Then I realized that I had put on Barb's glasses by mistake.  When I told Barb about it she was worried that my big round head might have stretched her glasses but I didn't have them on very long before I realized my mistake.
