A little sports
Aug. 11th, 2007 03:01 pmI played basketball this morning.
It was hard.
Two hours of exerting one's self after a hell of a long time with no physical exercise is no small feat.
I actually managed to keep my own during the game, seeing it was good clean fun (with a few clashes and a few of the guys getting a ball in the... well... "nether regions") and everyone was very happy to have a new person join them at the game, it felt really good to spend time with all these people I don't know (other than Aviv and his brother).
I'm definitely going to play again next weekend, this is also a great incentive to do a little sports during the week, so that I can actually play 'till lunch time with the rest of them and not plod home half dead.
And later today Daddy is go to attempt to teach me to ride a bike.
Yeah, laugh it up, 22 and doesn't ride a bike, hardi har har!
With any luck, and obviously little skill, I'll be able to actually ride the bike and not fall down and begin bawling like a five year old (my five year old nephew will be joining us and will hopefully learn from his Auntie that it's better to learn these things at an early stage in life and not after a life time of refusing to ride a bike.
Don't ask me why I've decided to start riding now, I couldn't answer you.
In addition, the genocide in Darfur must be stopped.
וכמו כן, צריך לעצור את רצח העם בדרפור.
