The spring of our discontent continues.

Another day, another rain-out, but this one was slightly more irritating.

Now, back when I played tennis at Tumwater High School, our coach, Lionel Barona, sent us inside to run staircases in the gym on rainy days.

No word yet on whether Coupeville net guru Ken Stange plans to follow suit.
