In which we check in, because we should


Big Bronx in a nutshell:

We did well. There were issues—there always are—but nothing terribly serious. And there were great moments of wonder, as when we decided to give a single-flighted Doubles round a go, and it came out perfectly sweet. I admit to checking it more than once out of sheer disbelief, but it was what it was. And it was good.

But the best part of the tournament, at least for LD, was the end result. Two young women fought their way through a tough field of national competitors and made it to the final round. Then, in a show of solidarity, they decided they wished to be co-champions. I love what this tells other young women in the activity. That you can do it. And that you are not alone. Is there a better message?

More details to come.
