Starting Again, This Time with a Basketball Story

I haven’t written anything for this blog in months. Not that that is any real loss to society or anything. In fact, according to a friend, it probably was a favor—friends are great sometimes. But I am paying for the site, so I figure I might as well once again, spend a few minutes rambling about nothing important. I played basketball at a gym I have never played at before. When this happens, it takes a little time for me to adjust to shooting because my depth perception isn’t exactly great. Still, after about 15 minutes or so, I am good to go. The only problem was that when I showed up last night, there was no time to warm up. I was the tenth guy to arrive and everyone else was warmed up and ready to play. So I took about five shots as the teams were being split up. Of those five shots, two of them hit so high up on the backboard that when they bounced off, they missed the rim entirely. Two other shots missed the front end of the rim all together—one of those two hit a guy in the head almost—and the last one went in, but not cleanly at all. So naturally, neither of the teams was too excited to have me playing with them.
