Pickle Mania

Have you gotten sucked in to the pickleball craze? I have not, although I have friends who've become pickleball addicts. It seems like almost every municipal tennis court around here, like this one in Monument Valley Park, has been converted for pickleball usage. This makes me feel a little sorry for the local tennis enthusiasts, since pickleball courts seem to outnumber tennis courts at this point. I will say this: these courts get used! There always seems to be a game on. I've heard that pickleball is fun because it's easier to play than tennis, and gentler on your joints. I guess I'll try it for myself one of these days. I used to like playing tennis but it's been years since I've picked up a racquet.
