let the madness begin

this is the month for it! watching college basketball is fun, but actually playing is more fun. since you won't be playing for any school, just show up tomorrow morning and imagine you are playing for your favorite. you can even wear your team jersey.

see you all at 5:50!

just like that

and as quickly as february came, it leaves. monday is the last day of 2017's second month of hoops completed. 

time to start on month three (on wednesday).

glad it's friday

my work week has been one of adventure. i am glad it's friday.

i'll start the day off with some hoops. after that, i'll head into the office to get a few things sorted out in preparation for more excitement on monday. if i have some time, i'll be able to brief the new folks on some procedures to get them up to speed. then when work is done, i'll head home and take a break from all that. probably some xbox.

but hoops. however your day might look, make hoops your first trip from home.

welcome back, kotter

we have been seeing a few familiar faces in the mornings. it's been a good thing. 

who's up for some exercise tomorrow in the form of basketball? good. i expect to see you there.

are alarms set?

make sure! hoops comes early! but you know that. 

me, you. tomorrow. on the court. then.

return to haikus

last friday was odd.

fewer than our normal crowd:

only eleven.

the schools were all closed

because the plague was landfall.

now the coast is clear!

take your vitamins!

wash hands and touch no one!

do this and survive!

gym will be open.

we play at usual time.

welcome back to hoops!

in case you didn't know...

...from all the blitz of red, white, and pink around, now might be the last moment you have to plan something for your honey for this designated day.

fear not! if you haven't gotten anything right now, there is always hoops tomorrow morning. how does that help you? well, you probably will be sleeping on the couch for not being all john "hannibal" smith (from the a-team, yo!) about things. that also means a poor night's sleep. that also also means you'll be up early to work out the guilt in the form of self-beating exercise.

and if you do "love it when a plan comes together," you can show up too...and laugh at the noobs who didn't plan so well.

roses are red...

basketballs are round.

there is hoops in the morning,

let your alarm sound.

cold snap

oh, snap! it was cold today. but warmer weather returns soon. (rats!)

i know sickness has closed this town, but we are still on for tomorrow. although, if you are sick, probably best to keep that at home...to rest...and drink plenty of fluids!

foggy week

this week has started out foggy in the mornings. i assure you that the gym has clear visibility for the full court. you can see it all!

come see the full court tomorrow. 

super hoops monday

did that really happen?

yeah, but it's over now. and hoops is next on the schedule. we are still doing that.

so, see you in the morning.

ps: basketball > american football

it's hoops time again!

gym is ready! it's a good time to be awake!
