Revved up like a…sorry, I’ll stop. It’s just the first phrase that came to mind when I took this photo the other night. As Jojo and I were leaving the table tennis club a few days ago, (after he beat me 5 matches in a row), we were stopped dead in our tracks by this [...]

US Open 2008 – Table Tennis
July 9, 2008 – 9:45 am
Many people don’t know this about table tennis…but it is an addiction! Table tennis, or ping pong, can invade your life if you don’t watch out. Once you get a taste of how that ball can spin, or the first time you make a sweet smash on your opponent, you may never get away from [...]

Just a quick post to congratulate Rafael Nadal on winning his first Wimbledon! This match is being called one of the greatest matches in the history of tennis. Unfortunately, we were only able to watch the first half this morning. As soon as the rain started (in England), we decided to hit the road and [...]

Just to make things clear, I think we go to Las Vegas WAY too much. Twice a year or more is more than enough to enjoy the sweltering and smothering heat of the Entertainement Capital of the World (according to Vegas). What brings us to Vegas (again) this year? Nothing more than the US Open [...]

Limited number of tables meant Jojo played his first round at 11:30, then played his second round at about 4:00, [...]

Just kidding, we’re not really going to Kentucky. But we did go to the San Diego County Fair this past Wednesday, and it was so much fun! Our primary reason for being there was to photograph the San Diego Table Tennis Junior Team, but we had so many more bonus reasons to be there: deep-fried [...]
are you ready to compete?
June 26, 2008 – 10:42 am
All this television coverage of Wimbledon has got me feeling competitive again. It’s been easily 3 weeks since I’ve played table tennis, or as I affectionately like to call it, pong. And I miss it so! I think it’s been a long enough break, I’m ready to compete! Sometimes a little break like this is [...]
