The Battle of the Century


pound for pound the best! or should i say "book for book the best"?

the battle had be brewing for years, with each contender claiming to have the upper hand.  neither opponent wanted to lose, that's for sure.  there was too much at stake, but as the weekend drew to a close, the victor emerged.  the victory was decisive, if not one-sided.  the vanquished was clearly overmatched.  they exchanged shot for shot early, but in the end youth prevailed.  yes, that's right. i beat my dad in tennis.  oh yea, manny pacquiao won too.

we played tennis on clay.  slid around and got my shoes dusted with red dirt.  the ball - in part due to altitude and in part due to the surface - bounced up really high.  threw our timing way off, but it was still pretty fun.
