What's been going on in a nutshell

With the advent of Facebook, who ever spends time on a personal blog any more? In any case, I'll try to sum it up here. A lot has happened over the last several years, good and bad. My mother passed away in December, 2013, we all miss her a lot. Alejandro is now 18 and is well on his way. Andre will be a junior next year and works nearly everyday as a life guard at the YMCA.

I have spent the last several years preparing a musical project called WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). It has been a lot of fun and hard work to bring this piece to fruition, but I admit is has been one of the most rewarding endeavors of my life.

I haven't played much tennis in the last year or two. I think my body needed the break. I'm hoping to start playing more this Summer and who knows maybe make another run in 2015. Viewmark is doing well, we continue to work with several long term clients and have several new project in the pipeline.

The 2009 Colorado tennis season comes to a close

The 2009 tennis year was a bit of a mixed bag. I started off the year with wins over Randy Sonthheimer, Chip Hudson and Mark Scruggs, but then had early round losses in the State and Denver City tournaments. I teamed up with Dan Almanza in doubles and we had good results at the Austin Scott and the Denver city, but lost early on at the State and the Greenwood Double Challenge.

It was just that kind of year, with economy and several other issues being so unpredictable. In any case, I'm looking forward to 2010.

The 2008 Colorado tennis season comes to a close

The 2008 tennis season is now over! The Denver Winter Clay Court Championship at the Greenwood Athletic Club seems to always be the last tournament of the year in Colorado. This year I played 4.5 and won a couple of rounds before losing to the #2 seed in the tournament.

The 2008 year was a good one! Select this link: Alsup 2008 tennis season, to see the highlights. I'll be ranked #1 in Colorado for 4.0 singles in 2008. Our Adult and Twilight teams won the state championships, while our Senior and Mixed teams lost in the final rounds of the playoffs. Individually, I won a majority of the 4.0 tennis tournaments I entered including the State and the Boulder city championships.
