Blog: Order On The Court — Now, Gwyneth Paltrow also wants in on Play To Win Pickleball action
Gwyneth Paltrow shows support by sending Friend Request from her private Facebook chat. The PVT acronym means it must be authentic, right?
A funny thing happened to me this week that I have to share.
Remember my earlier Blog I wrote about Taylor Swift calling me wanting use Chaos on the Courts as the basis of lyrics for a new song she was working on, and to book a lesson for pickleball.
Of course, all of it was the product of an over active imagination, or a faulty AI request for building a website’s traffic. So imagine my surprise when I really did get a request from Gwyneth Paltrow this week to Friend me on her Private Facebook account. It must have been the real Gwyneth because it had a nice photo of her on her profile, and the letters PVT on it also, meaning it must be her private account. No, I thought maybe she wanted me to join her network to sell Goop, or Poop, or whatever her brand sells these days. I don’t think I would be qualified to do that. So I had to unfriend her, especially after she started sending me requests to chat in Messenger. I was a little worried though. Not that someone might be trying to scam me into believing it was her profile, when it was really an Uber driver in Nigeria. My wife asked me about it, and I said with false modesty, “Gwyneth Paltrow wants to chat with me.”“That’s nice, Doug. What about?” asked my wife convincingly. "Not sure. I think she wants me to book a lesson with her, or sell her Goop or something."”Ok, but make sure you get paid up front,” said Maureen, ever the pragmatist. “Let me know how it goes, and take the dog out for a walk.”So, basically Gwyneth’s sincere request for a friendly chat, got about as much response from my wife as Taylor Swift’s late night call.“Be sure you turn the lights off, after your call with Taylor,” said Maureen.And that’s the problem with a long marriage. It’s hard to get a reaction. I guess I’ll have to wait until Dakota Johnson asks me out to lunch on Instagram. I hear she plays pickleball also.
