I joined a group of pickleball players yesterday. They’re called “The Agin’ Cajuns.” (I live near Lafayette, Louisiana, the heart of Cajun country.) This name is a takeoff on the better-known expression “Ragin’ Cajun,” a term that has been applied to political consultant James Carville, himself an actual Cajun.
Good for you! Sweet piece, good company, fun. Did you see the recent Times magazine article about pickle ball? I know several pickleheads who are totally into it. Great way to stay young.
Hilarious! I think I'm ready for this group.
So silly! :)
I continue to eye the game...
Always love your blog
Sounds like great fun, and a wonderful way to get to know people in a new place.

Very cute story which caught the mood and energy of the encounters.
Sweet!!
At 77, you’re still crushing it—on the court and at the keyboard. Thanks. Ken
Love the story. It put a smile on my face. I miss our late-afternoon, Marconi Drive tennis hangs.
Maybe you can introduce me to pickleball one of these days.
