Tennis Confusion

We went to our first day of tennis lessons and were foiled by misunderstanding. The funny thing is, I debated whether to ignore the instructions, but we decided to take the safe route and paid the price.

The lessons are over at Storr’s Pond, and when we got there, the road to the pond had a sign that said “Closed to Through Traffic.” I toyed with the idea of ignoring it and simply seeing how far we could get, but chickened out. We drove around and tried an alternate route, but that had a closed sign as well. We decided to bag tennis and go run errands in the big city.

Well, it turns out that the sign referred to the alternate route, and the actual road to the pond was open. They went ahead with tennis, and we missed out. Bummer, but then again, we got a lot done that we wouldn’t have otherwise because suddenly we had an extra hour.

Live and learn, as they say. I.e., don’t listen to what they tell you to do. Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Billy Alexander for the pic.
