if you can dodge a wrench...

will sent me a msg on fb, with the following: hey - you wanna play dodgeball tomorrow? lemme know

to which i thought he was kidding...and then i was like...what are we, in 3rd grade?

oh boy, was i wrong - apparently "recreational" dodgeball is serious business. no joke. the red team showed up with a coach. A COACH. in a suit and tie, yelling at them from the side.

so it turns out that a few ppl from my church plus others have been playing zog for the last few years. team bibimballz was in the playoffs last night and needed an extra person since they had lost some people due to injury. particular a girl, since you have to have a minimum of 2 girls on the court at a time. and as will said..."it's fun - and you can catch"

well i must say - it was SO FUN. the funnest thing i've done since football season ended. overall it was a great way to meet people and i love just playing any sort of game or sport for competition...and despite my spectacular fall onto the bad hand that immediately made it turn kind of purple...eh.

so will got hit with the ball, but it ricocheted off of him, and i dove to catch it. i must say, it was a pretty cool catch - but unfortunately i landed on my hand in the process. =( as jj said when i told him later: "+1 for the catch, -1 for the fall. net: 0."

overall it was great fun, and we almost (ALMOST) won the whole thing. won 3 tied 1 in the playoffs. won 2 lost 2 in the finals. 2nd place overall. team dinner at ktown afterwards...made some new friends...got "recruited" as a "free agent" for the next season...definitely looking forward to it.

"you're an awesome player..."
"um, why? because i do what you tell me to do?"
"YES! um, i mean...you listen and you're coachable..."

and as an added bonus, i think all that sweating cleared up my sinuses and crossed the turning point in my cold recovery. bonus =)
