I’m a Fucking Athlete
I know. I suck at posting. Been busy.

Couple of quick nuggets for today:
DancingGirl’s 40th birthday party was last weekend. Big goings on in Ge0rgetown. B00ze cruise, followed by swanky dinner, followed by drinks at a “hot spot.” The only bad thing was that dinner took 3 hours so people were exhausted by the time we got to the club. Highlight of the evening was Lobster getting up from his chair at dinner and coming over to where I was sitting to whisper highly inappropriate things about having sex with women on restroom changing tables, to CapeCod and myself.

Flag football starts this weekend (pre-season tournament). We had two practices this past week. We have a totally new nomenclature for all of our defensive play calls and new formations – I actually had to study. WTF… It’s unclear to me what position I’m playing this year. The first practice I practiced mostly at DL, with a smattering of LB. I practiced OK. Last night I practiced at LB, which is much more cerebral and I played well (had an INT in the scrimmage). So we’ll see for this weekend.

Wednesday at tennis there was a guy playing in my foursome who is going to be a senior this fall and plays varsity for a DIII program in western MD. He and I played together for the first two sets and just decimated our opponents. Then for the third set, he and I split up. And my partner and I won 6-4. Nice. I looked up the guy to see if he actually played for his team or if he was a scrub. Not only does he play #1 doubles but he was first team all conference. I mainly bring this up because I got into an argument with Arnie awhile ago because I asserted that I could have played on his college (DIII school). He called me arrogant despite the fact that he’s never seen me play tennis and I doubt he ever watched his school’s team play. Anyway, the guy I played with/beat on Wednesday was a better player than me (especially his serve) but he’s also 12 years younger. So I still contend I could have played DIII almost anywhere.
I’m off to the P@cific islands for work. I’ll try to write a post while I’m on a plane.
Behave,
