Futbol and basketball

Last night was my first attempt at playing organized soccer. They placed me in the middle at first- LOL thats a lot of running!
I had already decided the sport is designed to make football and basketball players feel humble and a look silly. All in all I did pretty well but I have a long way to go to master the basics and not have girls half my size take the ball away from me.

So as you can imagine after having circles run around me on the soccer field I'm really excited to be getting back to my favorite sport after about 7 years off. Tomorrow will be our second game of our co-ed basketball league. I feel surprisingly comfortable on the court though its going to take a while to get my left-hand dribbling back.

The weather in "sunny California" has been too wet to spend much time outdoors but I'm told this is wetter than usual and the rain should go away... and that's a hard sell for a Portland boy. I hope things get better soon because I looking forward to the dragon boating season and some kickball!
