country poetry & more

Ya know when you go back to visit the old home place and the house seems smaller than when you were a kid? Well, the opposite seems to be true with a basketball court. Last night I joined up with the Canyon Nets for practice, and found a 3-pointer is nigh impossible, a free throw iffy. The goal may even be higher. ;-) But the fun is the same as 53 years ago when I last played in a game. These ladies are a super group, spread the welcome mat wide for this stranger, so I felt right at home. Drills twice a week should have me back in shape in nothing flat. I'm even thinking about learning to throw a shot put, javelin and discus, something that was not offered to girls when I was in school. There seems to be no end to old age adventure.
