Yo! Real basketball!
I'm planning to play this Thursday (8/4), anyone's welcome to come on out. I should be at the park on W. 26th St. between Eighth and Ninth Ave. (south side of the street) at around 6:15 or 6:30pm. That would be in Manhattan, not far from Penn Station.
I'll be pretty easy to pick out since I'll probably look the goofiest in with my shaggy beard, sports glasses (I'm really near-sided), and bandana on my head (I just might wear a bright yellow one!).
No need to RSVP, just show up if you're in. Don't worry about your game. The older I get, the better I was.

How'd it go? I couldn't get out of work in time to head over there.

If anybody else was a BB person, they didn't tell me. I got pulled into some games with a bunch of guys who all worked at a media company on 23rd St. They helped me look good. My JS and JR are back up to around an 8 or 9, but I definitely need to work at my HA and IS skills if I'm ever going to roll back the clock 18 years and not look like a fool.

I'll probably call out another game at the same park some time again before the end of the summer, probably in a couple of weeks. Maybe next time if I give more than two weeks notice we'll actually get a few folks out here.

Okay, let's try this again this Thursday (8/18), same place (W. 26th St. between Eighth and Ninth Ave.).

I'll probably make it out there some time between 6:15 and 6:30pm. My beard is a bit less scraggly looking than it was a couple of weeks ago, and I'll still have my sports goggles but this time maybe I'll have an American flag styled bandana.

We went to the same university (though I graduated and he didn't...), so maybe he'll show up and we'll pretend like we're best buddies. Yo, KD! If you're on BB, come on out and I'll pick you up on my team (if you think you can hang with me)! Hook 'em!

The weather's looking like it's going to cooperate today. I was worried about the rain since I don't like to dunk when it's raining. I pretty much stopped dunking at that time that I jammed my foot on the rim anyway, but in the rain I make big puddle splashes when I land after I dunk and that's no good.
