They're playing basketball

For all the semi-bragging about my hockey skills I do in this blog, basketball is an equal dose of humility. I'm just terrible at this sport. Embarrassing really, if I cared about things like that.

I played again last night with some old co-workers in what is shaping up to be a regular game. I couldn't even score until the fourth game, in spite of a dazzling array of comical airballs and blocked shots. And this all in spite of my new Nike basketball shoes! (Money, it's gotta be the shoes!)

But at least it's a decent workout. It keeps me from getting so fat that I need a sturdier toilet seat.

Poker tonight. Cross your fingers for me!
