Susan, Jay (Susan's son) and I were in the living room of the House in Patriot. There was a ping pong table in the room, and Jay was apparently able to play ping pong quite well. I couldn't play well, but at least I did know how to play, and I decided I would like to play with Jay. He placed himself at one end of the table with his racquet, and I began looking for a racquet for me, but I couldn't find one. But I did find a paint scrapper which I thought I could use as a racquet. I stood with it at the other end of the table and served the ball.
I was surprised when I won the first point. I continued gaining points. Sometimes when I would hit the ball it would barely make it over the net, but I continued winning until I had seven points. I knew if I had eight points before he had any, I would win the game. But when I won my seventh point, the ball fell behind something and we weren't able to find it. I looked for another ball in a cabinet and finally found one. The new ball wasn't completely round, and looked a little like an egg. It also had some small protrusions on its surface which I thought might impede its action. Anyway I served the ball, but I didn't win the point. Jay then had an opportunity to serve.
Although Jay hadn't been playing well up till now, I now thought that was going to change. He prepared to serve, then hit the ball hard. But the ball missed my side of the table. Therefore he lost the game, and I won.
