wake up and play

set your alarms to wake up and come play some hoops. your body will be happy you did that for it. it might be so happy that it will treat you to some biscuits and gravy after.

also, let me know you are planning to play next monday morning, labor day. who's gonna get up early for that?

4 vs 4

we've done this twice this past week. it makes me wonder if we'll have four-on-four tomorrow again too. it sure does make for more of a work out we both teams miss that one player.

don't hurt yourself trying to get there tomorrow!

keeping it round

you've kept it real, now keep it round. roundball, that is. we play again tomorrow morning. i might have scared bill off after last friday. speaking of bill, 1kb's last day with us could be tomorrow, so come and see him off just in case.

be there or be square. but keep it round.

where has the time gone?

it's almost the end of august now, and you have to ask yourself "where has the time gone?" ok, you don't have to ask yourself that, but you could. and you could ponder it too. and if you ponder it for any length of time, you'll come up with only one answer: in the past. it's all behind us now.

but not tomorrow morning. not yet, anyway. and we'll be there playing some exciting basketball, because boring basketball is not exciting.

figure it out.

when will bill arrive?

bill said he'd get the pump from his office to get the basketballs to bounce correctly. he even said he'd come in a little early to do this. so, let's figure this out: bryce has a tendency to come as early as i do, if not earlier. then we see aaron, neal, and/or brandon if he comes. then usually trent, then gene, then the rest.  if bill comes early to get the pump, that would put him somewhere between neal and trent, i would guess.

pool has been started. pick your slots and come see who's a winner.

the final days of 1kb

although one kidney bill (1kb) doesn't leave until next week, we got a chance to have him play in our mix this past monday. there might not be too many more days like this. who knows if he will be able to be there tomorrow or friday or any next week. with this level of uncertainty, it's good to show up in order to catch a glimpse of the legend before he jumps to the other side of the country.

we play at sunrise, which i believe is still at 5:55a.

back in action

we're back in action tomorrow morning for basketball. i believe we'll
have a good, healthy crew of people to make some teams.

get some sleep, and i'll see you in the morning.

no hoops friday

friday is another the-gym-is-booked day meaning that we get a day off from hoops.  take the day to reflect on your game, your basketball outfit, and waffles (at the waffle house).  come back monday morning with a full head of new ideas, new moves, and some rad shirt-shorts combos.

enjoy the weekend!

cooler weather

it was a warm gym on monday. i hope for those warm gym mornings in the winter months, but not during the humidity of summer. at one point, pirate dave walked over to guard me and you actually hear the squoosh as the bumped me. ask bryce. he heard it too. soggy.

you might want to bring your iced tea when you come on wednesday just in case. no matter what, we'll keep the trend of playing three days a week by holding it tomorrow as usual. come early to get a good parking place.

still up?

if you are still up and wondering about basketball, wonder no more.
it is on. i'm getting this out later than i wanted. but show up
anyway. it'll be great!

come morning, start early

mr. myagi told daniel-san that on many occasions as he was learning to wax on, wax off. and i would like to echo that same instruction to you guys. there might not be any wax, but there will be basketball. you know about that.

back in action

after playing a little 3-on-3 half court monday, i'm ready to get back
in the full court action. and since setup monday is behind us, the
rest of you guys can come back out and play. (it's safe.)

it's august. fall is right around the corner. cooler mornings,
shorter days. come out tomorrow when it's still light enough to find
a good parking space.

take down/set up

it's one of those mornings again. come early to help disassemble.
stick around after to reassemble. as we are now professionals at
this, it should go quickly.
