basketball night ... oof...

tonight was basketball night. not such a bad night after all. i didn't do so well statistically i guess...too many turnovers...missed some easy shots....on the other hand...hit some big shots...did a lot of intangibles - made everybody run on defense allowing us to move the ball easier and get some open shots...also found some kinda catch and shoot, spinning fadeaway that i hit every time...ok i'll take it... it's good to play ball every week. i'm wiped out now but i'm drinking a beer right now. god i love beer sometimes. sarah's laughing at me cuz i have involuntary vocalizations of pleasure with almost every sip... i don't care. tonight's beer of choice is a boddington's pub ale in a can. tomorrow's gonna hurt...partly cuz i shoulda been in bed an hour ago...partly cuz i'm 30 and when i play basketball i don't care...didn't dive for any loose balls tonight but i did hit a wall pretty hard trying to save a loose ball...maybe i should drink two beers... there are such good happy things coming up in our lives. gavin and karlene are coming back to canada to visit for awhile. they land tomorrow, and then they come back to toronto to stay with us on sunday i think and then they get married on sept 10 and that will be wonderful. sunday is also brook's birthday and we're having a picnic i think. and jeff and kendra's wedding and all the stuff leading up to it... phew...i really should drink two beers...
love to all

I plan on becoming an ascetic and never drinking again. at least not until next week.

our time may not necessarily be our own for the next coupla weeks cuz we'll have the bride and groom of the sept10 wedding sleeping over for parts of the next 2 weeks (gavin and karlene...)...that said, i think we should still be able to have drinks and fun and frolics with y'all...especially mere...

isn't it funny that a post about playing ball got this much discussion going...?

actually in this case i got tired and drank beer...but that's not a cause and effect. i'm 30 - i don't need any excuses to drink beer. if i have beer in the fridge i can drink beer.
(take that 30!)
