Uh Oh I clearly didn’t get enough sleep yesterday due to daylight time savings. We lost an hour of sleep but there’s more time to play in our city. I’m personally excited that the city is converting some of its tennis courts into pickleball courts. Though I grew up playing tennis, I’m looking forward to improving my picklin’ skills this summer. Here’s where to play the popular sport in the meantime.
