thanks

a special thanks to all ten who showed up on monday to play. it was good to have the full compliment of teams to run the court.

we'll be doing the same thing tomorrow. and we'll need ten again. if you need a wake up call, let me know. i'll be glad to ring your house at 5:30a when i get up. but i'm not swinging by to pick you up.

speaking of picking...

friday numbers on monday

we got our twelve on friday.  that beats the seven we had monday and wednesday last week.  can we get at least eight tomorrow?  i know school schedules are pulling a few out of the loop on certain days.  surely, we can get eight.

right?

expendable?

despite what you might possibly imagine, playing full court as one of the magnificent seven isn't quite as fun as...what was that again, dave? the exciting eight? as those who have played as part of the magnificent seven for the past few times, no one is a member of the expendables. we welcome you back. not exactly as shown in the attached picture, but we be happy...from a safe distance.

better email updates

since i've been out for a week of playing, it's been a little harder to draft the email notices for upcoming game mornings. i am coming back tomorrow morning and looking forward to it. somehow, riding an stationary exercise cycle isn't the same as play full court basketball. i'm sure that you all will agree.

did you have enough players on monday? how many are coming tomorrow? i'll see you guys then.

ps: i do have a note from the doctor.

time cards

word was there only seven on friday. i thought fridays were usually larger crowd days. don't worry. you can make up your time tomorrow morning. make sure to get your time card signed by an authorized manager.

don't be late!

more basketball haikus

wake up tomorrow and leave your house quietly to come play some hoops.

reset your alarm so you can come earlier to practice your shots.

loosened arms and legs, a mind focused on the game... and red bull won't hurt.

your kung fu is strong

has this tactic been used in any of our games? didn't i hear visa (aka trent) refer to this last week?

however you play defense...or offense, come break out your skillz on the court of testing. maybe you could be the best around.

back to skool

skool is already in full swing. and if you come to the court tomorrow, you might find a few pop quizzes waiting for you. study up all you want tonight, brochachos. class is in session.

free air conditioning

it might be muggy outside, but we have free air conditioning inside the gym. all you have to do is come and play. the sooner you get there, the better you'll feel.

chill out tomorrow morning.

hiding the bodies

i don't know where some of the bodies from last week were hiding on monday,
but we did have enough to play. it was enough. i just hope we have enough
for tomorrow.

wake your body up.

orange juice

pour yourself a tall chilled glass of extra pulp and come over to the gym.  if you get there early, you can warm up.

see you.
