LOL - Your grrr is well deserved and suggests access is easier than maybe it could be. Table tennis is great. Dad and i would play some 20 games sometimes non-stop with hardly a word said. That part of it could have been more fun. First i've heard of pickleball (oh, it's redlined so new to the dictionary now too.)
It sounds like hubby and you have found a good place to dwell. Congratulations.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
