Well, I'm still an ultimate player. Good to know. Played pickup for Men's League last night. Those UIC Fields are as nice as I remember them, and the surrounding area is completely different from what it used to be. Amazing. Found out I got drafted like 2nd round, which was a mistake. I think if I had to put a number on it, I'm really 5 years removed from the game, summer league and tournaments in 2004. Mars in 2005 and Paganello in 2006 shouldn't really count, since I didn't do anything else besides those two. So yeah, I can throw as well as I ever did, which isn't all that well. I can still move ok, no lift on jumps, not completely out of position. Cleats work ok, but they might actually be a little too big, or I need to tighten them up a little. Riding home was probably a good idea, as a means of cool down. But definitely feeling sore today. But I don't think it's any worse than the first tourney/game of the year usually was for me, even back then. So yeah, I'm a little excited. Had some frozen pizza for dinner, watched the end of Grey's Anatomy (the twist Tracy picked up on pretty early, but wasn't sure, but made sense to me) and then the Facebook episode of My Boys to try and lighten the mood. I rode in today, and the bike needs a couple tweaks, and now I get to ride home in the rain. Should be fun without fenders.
