Basketball & Baseball

Saturday was a pretty action-packed day.  Keenan, Jon, and myself went over to the recreation center in our neighborhood to play some pick-up games of basketball.  It was a good workout, and after struggling through the first couple of games I finally started playing well.  I needed to start playing well at some point, because I was going to get booed off the court as the only white guy on the floor!  I've never been involved in any pick-up games that involved so much whining over fouls, that includes you Jon!!  Everybody fouls and then everybody complains.  I'm used to playing at Ripley where you aim not to foul, play tough D, and you call your own foul if you actually get hacked.  Seems to work so much better than the system we played underneath on Saturday.  After coming back Keenan and I headed over to Nationals Park to meet up with Pete and his friend that came into town to visit.  It was 106 degrees out that day, and people had their very young children at the game, ay yi yi.  We were able to bring in our own bottled water to the game, which was nice, and the Nats won 4-1 against the Rockies.  Keenan and I dined at Union Station on the way home, and I had a delicious chicken salad sandwich!  The night was spent back at the RAF, and it was mostly uneventful.  I say mostly because our room at one point was intruded upon by an un-welcomed guest.  If you are in interested in hearing that story, you'll have to ask me in person. ;-)
