i also cannot fail to mention a wonderous full court basketball game we engaged in on saturday night. playing in a game with nine friends is a simple joy not often experienced. the night air was so cold that during the three hours i broke nary a sweat (it could be the lack of effort on my part that led to my sweatless state but i'd like to think otherwise). it was also brick ass freezing so much that i couldn't feel my hands half the time. the game was a battle of turnover against turnover and replete with ridiculous dribbling off your foot antics. but it was a wonderous time. the night was ended by a caroming drive to the basket by the man beast known as brian babbs. as he drove through our entire defense for the winning bucket, all five of our team members screamed in fear at the barrelling monster. needless to say, he made his layup and our screams of peril were no defense against his awesome might.
