Basketball
As a kid I was never quite that athletic. I know, I know it is shocking! One of the worst things for me to do was to play basketball. I was particularly awful at shooting hoops. Maybe it was my left handedness, maybe it was my lack of interest in the sport, but for whatever reason, it was and is always a struggle to play the sport.
Well fast forward to today and I still don’t really like the sport, I rank it somewhere behind Nascar and Soccer if that gives you any idea. Yet somehow the sport has creeped into my life. I bought a house last year that happened to have a basketball goal in the driveway. My father got me a basketball and now when the weather is nice I go out and practice my non-existent skills at b-ball. For the record I did beat Marty at HORSE the other night with a thrilling 26 ft shot!
Also, for the first time in my life I am still alive in my office NCAA bracket pool. I have never made it out of the Elite 8 with a scrap of a chance and now I have a chance to win the whole thing! I just need Duke to win their game on Saturday and go to the Finals. Let’s hope for my sake that they do. Who knows it might open up a whole new world for me.
Luckily before this basketball thing gets out of hand, Royals Opening Day is Monday, so I can focus on the boys in blue again. They know just how to let me down over and over through the course of 162 games. That will be more like it!
