I could be wrong, I usually am. Where is tennis on that list? According to a poll I made up, it’s wedged somewhere between beer pong [...]

Salem, Oregon I arrived in Salem for my next tournament, the RDAdventure Summer Classic, where I am set to play in all three events; men’s singles, men’s doubles, and mixed doubles.
