I have enjoyed our games and will miss them in the future. That said, I would hate to be one of those "younger" players that caused you pain on the court. Take care, and ejoy the memories. Even at 60, you were a force on the court! David Hey Dennis:

I'm jealous - you have so many more years of good racquetball in front of you. Well, I'm sad to give it up but I've still got tennis in the summer and my wife works hard to make sure the Honey-Do list never gets too short <smile> so all is well. Cheers!</smile> Thanks, Ryan.

I feel the sport has never received the credit it deserves, especially for a sport that supplies the ridiculous entertainment value racquetball does. To be honest, it is extremely impressive that you have the ability and courage to continue playing into your 60's. I know how you feel when you wonder if it is time to give something up. I'm only in my late 20s, and on top of racquetball I play beer league ice hockey. In my last two games, I've managed to hurt my shoulder and my hip. It keeps crossing my mind that it might not be the best thing for my long term health to continue playing, unfortunately I love playing so much I'm willing to take the risk for a few more years. Anyways, I wish you all the best and hope you can find something else in your life to replace the void racquetball will be leaving. I'm sure you will.
