We are a bunch of middle-aged teachers, writers, nurses,
\n doctors, and a wastrel or two with no visible means of support, who call
\n ourselves the "Just Don’t Suck" Tennis Club, and that is basically what
\n we try to do, or not to do, and we are intermittently successful. We
\n play outdoors year-round, as long as the court is clear and dry and the
\n temperature is above freezing.<\/p>\n

\n peaceful if poor residential neighborhood in Cambridge, Mass, that most academic of American cities, nestled in a bend in the Charles River
\n across from BU, Kenmore Square and Fenway Park. Imagine our surprise
\n upon arrival yesterday morning for our regular session, to discover four
\n cars in a row on Blackstone St. in front of the courts, completely trashed.<\/p>\n
\n windows. Smashed wide open, with scattered glass all over the place,
\n as if by baseball bat or crowbar. Even more impressive, ALL SIXTEEN
\n TIRES were slashed and completely flat. A thorough and professional job. According
\n to a cop on the scene, nothing was stolen. No known motive.<\/p>\n
\n at the previous night’s rainout at nearby Fenway Park? Even more frustrated
\n Red Sox fans exploding in rage and anguish? Nobody knows, but one more
\n reminder that the world is a wild and unpredictable place. Try
\n to focus, man!<\/p>\n
\n the murder of Michael Colono, the Bach Singers on Comm Ave. and the smashed
\n cars, took place within one mile of each other, and of Fenway Park, where
\n those unspeakable bums whose name may no longer uttered within the confines
\n of our home, are, as we write these words and try not to think of them,
\n in the process of
\n shitting
\n the
\n bed
\n and driving
\n several

\n of New England sports fans forever away from the Great American Pasttime.<\/p>\n
\n work, and blog. We have long looked forward to the day that there
\n will be a blogger in every neighborhood of every state and country, in
\n every company and army, school and interest group. When that day
\n comes, we will beat the conventional media to every story, and form a
\n living
\n net of human experience that covers the globe and can take any of its
\n members anywhere at any time.<\/p>\n
\n and we work in Boston, near Fenway Park. This is our beat, and
\n we intend to cover it to the best of our ability. Let’s see y’all
\n do the same.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
