This Monday, Mar 12 at 2:00 pm, Boulder North Gym, everyone is invited to watch the slaughter of the century. Joe Ajello will be pounding me into the walls of a racquetball court. In the old days, 1965-1970 at CU, Joe used to spot me 20 points in handball (21-point game) and beat me every single time. So, if Joe’s handball skills translate into racquetball, this game should test my treachery and trickiness to the ultimate.<\/p>\n
Tune in on Tuesday, and I’ll tell you (possibly from the hospital) if I scored any points against Joe.<\/p>\n

Tuesday<\/u><\/p>\n
Hi Patrick,<\/p>\n
Yesterday I had my first racquetball games since January. Joe Ajello & I played. He used to be a champion handball player, then switched to racquetball in the 80’s, but this was the first time he’s played since 1985. He’s a lefty, so I served to his backhand on the right side, but his backhand is really good. Then I tried serving to his forehand on the left, and he wasn’t as good with his forehand. He tried to kil the ball a lot and missed, so I beat him in 2 games. My z shots, learned from Dominic, helped a lot. After the 1st 2 games we had only 10 minutes left in our hour, so we played to 9, and he beat me 9-5. But no one was coming to play after us, and he suggested we continue to 15. I managed to catch up to him and beat him 15-10. We were both exhausted afterwards.<\/p>\n
Looking forward to our games at Maryland. Do you have any particular times that would be good? Most any afternoon from Mon the 26th to the 29th would be fine.<\/p>\n
