That’s easy. If the royal were 400, I would give up video poker and take up bowling!

Full disclosure: 18-or-so years ago I played racquetball with countgr8 and Anthony Curtis. I was the weakest player. After a month or so, my knee gave out and I limped around for 4 months. After healing for six months or so I tried again. Played okay for a couple of weeks, and then my knee gave out again.

Shirley wanted to kill all three of us!

So, no, I’m not considering playing racquetball again. As fragile as my body was in my early 50s, taking up the game again in my late 60s isn’t attractive in the least.
