Millennium’s New Year Classic – Joplin, MO

One day and after the State Games of Oklahoma…..and a long drive home…. Missina and I played mixed doubles in the Millennium New Years Classic at the Millennium Fitness Center in Joplin, Missouri.

In an odd moment, I looked over and saw someone reading my book Closure. It is always surreal as I feel like the person that wrote that is different from me. As though the author is someone else entirely. A stranger that I know but do not immediately perceive. It always takes me a moment of recognition and realization. I am proud of my book! I am so fortunate. And I appreciate everyone who has read it and enjoyed it. Once again, a heart felt thank you!

The tournament was a long, fun day with difficult matches and good friends. It was a round robin tournament with one match after another. We played several matches and won them all somehow. We were a bit tired but proud.

We went into the weekend with two goals. Win two golds and not be injured. We did both! Overall, it was a wonderful weekend!

The Millennium is a wonderful place with great people. Joplin is lucky to have such a facility!
