There was some debate as to whether or not we’d have ultimate frisbee, but when we went out there, sure enough, the crew was warming up. It’s a great site to see people out there ready to play, because we love UF. It was still a bit in the aftermath of Irene, and rain was forecast for the entire weekend. It was cloudy, but the rain had subsided early in the day, so we had hope. By evening, we were excited and ready. Again, when we pulled into the field, we were stoked to see people out there tossing the frisbee around. It was nice because it was mostly kids, so everyone got to be involved. I think the 20 year old pros are all back in college, so old men like me don’t have to run as hard. It gives the young kids a chance to play more, and it makes it easier on the geriatric crew that suffers from various bone ailments.
It was fun, and I still got to run around a lot and feel like I’m getting some exercise. And, there were a bunch of new people, so the crowd grows. At some point, the clouds rolled in and we started to see lightning, and the decision was made to call it quits. The timing was just right, because we got home and the thunder and lightning really kicked into high gear, so much so that we actually lost power and went to bed with no electricity.
Never a dull moment on this end. Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Matthew Maaskant for the pic.
