    So what's the deal with this?

    I played last night for the first time in years. We went down to the courts at Waugh and Memorial and I was somehow able to play for 90 minutes or so without seeing Jesus or simply passing out. One thing that stood out was that my roommate and I (we've been playing basketball together since 4th grade) acted like it was our heyday in high school, even though we hadn't played together in nearly 10 years. We knew exactly what the other was going to do the whole time. Weird.

    Anyway, I think I'll be able to run with y'all in a couple of weeks or so.

    Who's down? Where we playing?

    Where do you park there? What time did you go? Was it crowded?

    I'll believe it when I see it guys. I understand why you'd be scared of a 6'3", 215lb, Yankee-hating, Harry Potter-loving liberal with a penchant for missing lay-ups, but getting his own rebound and putting it back in. :D

    In the YWCA parking lot. Got there around 6:45 or so. Not too bad. We played three games or so of 3-on-3, half court, all the same teams. There were games going on on the other side of the court as well.

    The problem last night was all the mud from rains. Half of the court was slippery, then whenever a pass was thrown out of bounds, your shoes got muddy going to get the ball.

    I'd prefer that as well.

    OS, my roommate and I are going to join the downtown YMCA. IIRC, you go there on occasion. Are you a member? If so, what're the monthly dues?

    $40/month

    I'm a member and a notorious racquetball/basketball weekend warrior there. I caution you before stepping into the Big Dawg's backyard.

    Thanks and warning noted. :) Unfortunately, I hit my basketball peak in 8th grade.

    Did you have any luck with the ringtones?

    Just don't cry when a 5'8", 160lb, Yankee-loving, soon to be daddy with a penchant for missing lay-ups, out rebounds you and leads his team to victory with his deft point guard skills.

    :eek:

    I am also a member of the downtown Y. I played there the past two Saturdays. I plan on going this Thursday evening and probably on Saturday also.

    I can get a gym on most Sundays, but y'all would have to be willing to make the drive out to the boonies....
