blackbird singing in the dead of night

As we draw closer to the official start of the tennis season, I feel myself feeling a bit nostalgic. I'm grateful that I've had the opportunity to keep in touch with so many people since our middle school days. We may not walk down the same path any longer, but our stories in some form remain interconnected, even if not as we had anticipated back then.

Amazing to think that it all stems from a mutual love of a sport.

( to the former captains )

Also, while I'm thinking about it. Genichirou - has anyone announced plans for your birthday?

[ooc; this is a welcome invitation to anyone who was a captain in any sort of capacity during middle/high school years.]
