THE BASIN

This Blog is dedicated to all of the people past and present who are or have been a part of the unique Winnekenni Basin Tennis scene in Haverhill Massachusetts for nigh on twenty odd years.The cast of characters and players is as long, diverse and ever changing as life itself. They belong to all walks of life and professions and have ranged in ages from five to seventy years old, both male and female. This site is not just about tennis, but rather the fascinating interaction of people and events that transpire when any group of people gather together to share in a common experience.

Rockin Friday & The Fuzz & Fun!

Well there we were four or five of us, well into our fifth six pack at some time past 9:30 PM. We were talking about every important thing under the sun. Women, beer, tennis & the US OPEN. The Mercedes Bose system was blasting Either "LET IT BE (Naked) or Nirvana "Come As You Are" John from Washington State had quite a bit of "Twisted Tea" before hand but had switched to Corona and was a bit wobbly!I had to go and pick up the sixth six pack after we ran out. Smitty, the Toad man and myself were not feeling any pain also, except from the dragon fly size mosquitoes which were feasting on our legs. A police cruiser pulled right up next to the Tennis Shack as a light rain was falling. He rolled down his passenger window (a young thirties officer) and said you boys alright? Well we were all holding our beverages in our hands in plain sight, I think a few of us even held them up, we all said, "Yeah, were great". He said "Alright guys be careful and have a good night". He then drove off into the rainy night.
As far as the tennis well That night was more about blowing off the work week steam socializing plus having a few laughs. We did have some great matches as Arnie and the Toad had brought their powerful serve & volley "A+" doubles games. Master Loi, Viagra Vic,and Hotdog Harry brought their baseline back court boggies. Great time had by all! For Face Book updates see: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/richard.zelinski?ref=profil
