Today, I played football!

Yes folks, today I did something I haven't done in nearly 10 years. I played a serious game of flag football with some 25 or so guys from my friend's church--and a few extras as well. Picture this! The field was heavy with rain...the only place there wasn't standing water, there was MUD! We scrambled for footing as we lunged and slipped and banged into one another! It was mayhem.

My team won! (24-12 I think!) I played defensive tackle, which was what I did in my college years (intramural). Our defense was quite impressive, but I don't want to take from the offense. We had one receiver, Paul, who picked off everything that came his way! He was small and nimble with good sticky hands. Chad was our options champion, and man could he barrell through 11 guys! He looked like a bull with two legs. (Think he used to be a rugby player.) Robbie threw a very accurate game-a super QB! I have to give props to Matt Wilkins for coreographing it, and inviting me out! Thanks to his recruitment and networking, our team had two full teams (offense and defense). With no need for replacements or rotation!

Folks, it was cold, it was wet, it was dirty, and it was FUN! And, there were no serious injuries. (Except for the big bruise in their pride, and the swelling of our heads.)

I'll get a pic or two on here tomorrow, right now I'm sore and tired, so G'Night!
