"Was considering taking up pickleball but now I’m NOT"

@jalefkowit If I had a nickel for every pickleball romance this woman has written, I'd have two nickels... which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?

I saw Mountain Goat Ambush open for Sigur Ros, and I kind of get it.

@jalefkowit I know exactly who this is for. One of my Fallout 76 buddies was a retired cop and his wife was a high powered lawyer and now they compete in senior pickleball tourneys together.

@vadhakara My first reaction to seeing that cover was “those people are way too young to be pickleball enthusiasts” 😆
