FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JULY 2021 55
It's the question that everyone was asking
after Ping Pong resumed this year: Where's
Mike? Has anyone seen Mike?
Some speculated he joined the World
Pinochle Federation, circling the globe in
search of big prize money. Others assumed
that his acrylic painting of two turtles gained
worldwide acclaim, and it has since replaced
the Mona Lisa at the Louvre. Or maybe he
had become the Shuffleboard Cruise Director
for Royal Caribbean, but then again they
haven't sailed in over a year.
Yet, as we rounded the corner ready to
enter the Courts Main Room earlier this
month, there was Mike Zehner, decked out in
FSTTC turquoise, ready to slam and spin like
the COVID layoff never existed.
It was great to see Mike back at the
tables, and all the other ping pong fanatics,
including the Fabulous Four — Lian, Mitch,
Jeannie, and Niles — playing singles, same
time, almost every day. Then Alan, Sandi,
Pete, Bob, Joyce, Nancy, Bernie and others
decided to join the fray, and the FSTTC was
back in business!
Rony, Barry, Ben, Sally, Hailu — we know
you're out there somewhere. At least Paco has
an excuse, letting his broken ribs heal, and we
all wish him a quick recovery! After that, no
excuses for you!
Before I bore you any further, let's give
a quick shout out to Alex, who dragged
us kicking and screaming out of the ping
pong room to the tennis courts for a quick
and valuable course on CPR and the use
of the defibrillator. Without question this
training should be expanded throughout our
community.
No doubt it's great to see The Courts Main
Room humming again, and we look forward
to the day when we can have a full house and
resume playing doubles. That day will come.
