Bolivar tennis celebrated their seniors on the squad at the Monday, Sept. 18, match and was able to pull out a win over a very talented Rogersville team. Bolivar won in decisive fashion 7-2 and was able to set the tone early in their doubles matches. The team has vastly improved throughout the season and seem to be playing at the highest level yet. The early season saw some struggles for the Liberators but they look to have turned the page as they power through the second half of their season.

I miss the writers. The Writers Guild of America went on strike in early May, and it has been a creative wasteland on television ever since. Most of the shows Tom and I used to watch won't be back with new episodes this fall. Lately, we've been flipping through over 100 channels, amazed that there are so many options yet so little we want to see.
