Racquetball

Man, the word racquetball sure is spelled funny. At least it looks like it to me. Anyway, I played racquetball for the first time in over 10 years yesterday at the gym. Adrian and I went to play a couple of times back in college. We would basically use it as an excuse to lock ourselves in a room and beat the crap out of each other.

Yesterday I went with a guy I met playing basketball at the gym. I ended up having a lot of fun. A lot more fun than I thought I would have. Maybe I'll try playing some more in the future.

I also had a basketball game last night with the work league I'm playing in. Man, it's been a long time since I've played in a league setting and it's hard to run for 40 minutes. In pick up ball, you can take a break every now and then and walk up the court. But when you're the tallest guy on your team, you don't get much bench time and you really can't take a play off and walk or you'll get burned. Somehow I'm leading this league in rebounds which isn't bad for an old dude with a bad wheel! Hey, I know my role. Play defense and get rebounds. I only score on chip shots and garbage collection.
