The Table Tennis venue was held at Center for the Handicapped (interesting site) in Phoenix. This is the location of the Phoenix Table Tennis Club, founded in 1947. Table Tennis was not a senior games event, although there was an over 60 round robin singles. I did not enter this as it would conflict with my playing in my rated Round Robin event.
I entered the Under 1200 Round Robin Singles. I did not play very well. On a scale of 1 to 10, about a 7-8. Surprisingly (to me) it was enough to win gold. Prior to playing I had hoped to perhaps place.
I also entered the Under 1300 Round Robin Singles. As the matches went on I began to play better. I had hoped to win a couple of matches and raise my rating some. It seems to me that it is easier for me to play a better player. At any rate, I won the gold in this event. This is good news and not so good news. It was nice to win, but my rating will go up a fair amount. I am planning on going to the Huntsman World Senior Games in St. George, Utah. I really would like to do well there, especially since I’m passing up on the archery venues in order to play table tennis. Regardless, I plan to enjoy it. As usual, I met some really neat people and thoroughly enjoyed visiting some between matches. Simply select a picture to enlarge it.
I will post more pics once they become available on the internet.

So! You think you really know your history! Let’s see how well.
What was the first thing Queen Elizabeth did when she ascended the throne? After giving much consideration to this question, I believe I figured it out. She sat down! : )

So do you REALLY know why Robin Hood stole from the rich? Personally, I think it’s quite easy to figure out. It was because the poor didn’t have anything worth stealing! : )

There are three kinds of people in this world; those who can count, and those who can’t.
(If you think about this a little I can count on you getting it : )

This is a very interesting program where we discuss the ancient practice of blood-letting, and the fact that the Bible (Leviticus 17:11) teaches that “life is in the blood”. Leviticus was written long before (1445 B.C.) man discovered that “life is in the blood”.

A police recruit was asked during his final examination, “What would you do if you had to arrest your own mother-in-law?”
His response, “Call for backup!”

Attending a wedding for the first time, a very little girl asked her mother, “Why is the bride wearing white?”
The mother gave a little thought to this and answered, “Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life.”
The little girl thought for a moment and asked, “So why is the groom wearing black?” : )

On this program one of the facets of what it means to be created in the “Image of God” is briefly discussed. That facet being the human mind. Program #18 covers more of this topic, as well as addressing several other facets of what it means to be created in the image of God. Man is not an animal and his brain is far more complex than those of the Animal Kingdom.
Note: There is a 42 second break in the streaming of this program, beginning 11:19 minutes into the program and ending at 11:41 minutes. The studio does not know what caused the interruption and there is no other copy of the program. You’ll most likely welcome the 42 seconds of silence by the time you get there.
