My new paddle
We’ve been living in South Bend for almost two weeks now – without encountering anyone in the outside world except for the people in Jess’ program (who are great people, by the way). So, I started brainstorming things that I could do to get out more, and found the website for the South Bend Table Tennis Center.
Off I went to join their tournament tonight, and I had a great time! As a newcomer, I was placed in the bottom league, which is probably where I belong. I had some great competition from players of all ages using a variety of styles. I won 3 out of 4 games that I played, so I didn’t feel like I was out of place. Although I was the only female player.
And check this out – the coach is Dan Seemiller, former US Olympic team coach! I almost asked if I could take my picture with him. Maybe next week!

This sounds like a blast! You've inspired me to seek out interesting groups and activities in Miami. We all need a little recreation, right? And BTW, congratulations on winning 3 out of 4 games at your first meeting! Very impressive.
Thanks, Melissa! Go for it in Miami, and I'd love to read about the things you try out there!
