I would like to play 1 - 2 times a week, prefer evenings.

Good question, which I really can't answer (LOL)

In some players eyes I would be an exelent player, in others I would be extremely bad.
I know how to spin, slice, smash, etc....

though i can't claim to play professionally, I'd like to think that i can hold my own.

keep me posted on when you have the get together

I have an outstanding vendetta with alegna on the subject - I wouldn't be opposed to embarrassing her with a crowd to witness. :P

Well, it depends... but I am a good sport. I've lost many games and matches to better players, and none made me cry.

Whose to say table tennis isn't a tiresome sort of indoor recreation? Lol. If you're on the far side of bad and spend most of the time chasing the ball then it is truly a challenging feat.
