All Packed

I decided to get everything packed and ready tonight, so tomorrow all I have to do is work, tie up few loose ends and be set to leave on Tuesday. Plus having my suitcase out helps Augie and Chatum (especially Augie) get used to the fact I'm leaving. She mopes quite a bit when she sees the dreaded suitcase. Leaving Augie and Chatum behind gets a little tougher each trip. My good friend Scott, has once again come to my rescue to stay with the girls while I'm gone. He's great with them and they love having him here. I'll never be able to thank him enough for all he's done for me.

The draws for Indianapolis are posted and I play my first matches, singles and doubles, on Thursday. Phil's first match is on Friday. We will drive to Indy from Columbus on Wednesday morning, which is about a 3 hour trip. We'll get a good hit in on Wednesday afternoon then be ready to play on Thursday. I'm really looking forward to a fun week of tennis for both of us.
