I hope everyone enjoyed their Summer and the beautiful weather we had the past 5 months. If you are suffering from racquetball withdrawals, I highly recommend trying outdoor racquetball. Jim Bove puts on some fun events down in Boston and I can't tell you enough how addiciting it is to play racquetball outside. Check it out if you can! www.worldoutdoorracquetball.net
