In a nutshell: The very first time I went to The Central Park Volleyball Courts I met the love of my life. On that day Kelly was sitting next to the "A" court with her friend Sam. I was asking around to see how I could get in a game. I finally ended up talking to Kelly about it and she asks, "Well...are you any good?" I explained that I played pretty competitively back in Chicago. At this point, Kelly got up and ran me through a series of drills to see if I was lying. After ten mins I had apparently done enough to be deemed worthy....whew! Kelly then tells me, "Ok I've got next on the A court and you can be my partner, but if you stink I'm subbing you out for my friend Sam." Luckily I didn't stink! We went on to win several games in a row and were fast friends after that. She introduced me to so many wonderful people in NYC and after a couple of months, we started dating. The rest is history....Thank you Central Park!
