Afterglow 2003 - Day 2 (page 5)
Uncle Dan and Uncle Dale challenged Tim and Gary to a doubles game of tennis. The crowd turned out for what was soon to be known as the match of the century, a showdown of age vs. beauty. Now Uncle Dan's not old, and Gary's not beautiful, but you catch my drift. I nominated myself as official photographer, and here it is.
Uncle Dan does a little pre-game stretching to get his body ready for this showdown of skills and endurance.
Gary doesn't employ any pre-game techniques, he just stands around with a clueless look upon his face.
Dale serves with the precision, determination, and power that would rival even the great Pete Sampras. It's a wonder to me why Dale McKissick never joined the men's World Tennis Circuit. Uncle Dan could only stare and marvel at the grand showcase that Dale put on. First baseball last year, now Tennis? Dale will soon take over the World of professional sports and revolutionize life as we know it.
Team Old stood poised for the impending barrage of well executed hits by Team Kid. Their years of mastery in the sport of Tennis overcame any obstacles standing in their way during the match.
Tim proved that he could do well with something other than a guitar in his hand. The vigor and energy of the young shone forth in their enthusiastic approach to the game.
Gary calls for a line judgment by an unbiased referee, but Burt was nowhere to be found. Instead, the decision was done in the best interest of everyone gathered for the unprecedented occasion.
On our way to Afterglow from Phelps, we saw this strange bus parked outside of a shed. The Smoky Special looked mysterious, and it reminded me of something I'd seen in a dream...
When we were in Eagle River buying groceries at Bonson's, we noticed some of the "locals" sitting atop their cars. Gary and Tim figured that this was the cool thing to do, and not wanting to be left out, they climbed on my Mom's car and sat there while I bought some things. People in the lot gave them disapproving stares, so I guess not everyone in town understands the local customs.
