Chris doesn’t play tennis anymore and it’s not because of his hip replacement. That went astonishingly well. He had been afraid that, as happened to his dad, getting his hip replaced would keep him off the courts. A shy-but-spry empty-nester in his late fifties, Chris leaned heavily on a group of guys at the local tennis club for his social needs.
Every Tuesday and Thursday night, they traded partners and played a few sets of doubles and sat around afterward drinking beer and making conversation that shifted between locker room humour and moments of genuine connection. It was almost scripted like a sitcom.
All of that ended two months ago when a local philanthropist bought the tennis club’s property to develop it into another K-12 school. Unlike a sitcom, these real life guys in their fifties had neither the time nor the resiliency to fight for the tennis club in their local politics game. Half of the gang is still together playing at another club 45 minutes away but Chris can’t afford to retire let alone pay the more expensive dues at the new club. So, he’s out.
I’m not an end-times prophet but it’s no secret that “local politics” can happen to anybody. Click Funnels is an opportunity for good people like you who need just a little more time and just a little more money to keep life normal.
