| Sunday I found a place in Lewisville with new people to beat up on, er I mean play ball with. They've been doing the waterball thing for around 7 years, and have been kicked out of 5 or 6 places in that time. They had a decent mix of talent, but I expected more from people that had been playing 7 ye... |

| I finally got clearance from the surgeon and had a good start Saturday. I went downtown where the no-net guys play, and our team won the first 3 games, 15-3, 15-10, 15-4. I only hit the net once, had some good blocks and digs, but still gotta get used to the speed of their games. I was out of breath... |

| LJ, I've also found two different pools at the Village in downtown Dallas (one enforces no-net rules that Charlie probably told y'all about), a place in Plano (Keith is starting to go there) and two in Lewisville. I'm having another surgery today, so I'm not playing this weekend. If I'm really lucky... |

| The net seemed higher than Riata, and yeah, they are playing with net rules. Most of those guys used to play jungle ball, but got tired of the extra injuries, especially to hands and fingers. |

| I hyper extended my knee while landing after I jumped to make a block during the first game (bottom of pool is a bit slippery). Guess I'll find out how bad the knee is during the week. Since I couldn't play, I shot some video. Click the "HQ" icon in the Youtube player to get better quality... |

| The place Charlie and Keith used to play at in Dallas in the 90s switched from shirts to white board because the list was getting too long. I think they put one of the girls who was always out there working on her melanoma in charge of policing the board. If somebody on the list joined a team higher... |

| I'm driving to Austin tomorrow, and can get there as early as needed on Saturday (and Sunday, and Monday...). Usually I end up sitting around waiting for all the other people that said they'd get there early, but I'll bring stuff for the grill to fill the time. |

| I had to settle for another night of court ball. I was a mad man, running all across to court to make saves and blocks, but I'm paying for it today. My knees and back don't like playing on wood. It's been good practice and has helped me break some bad habits, but next weekend isn't going to get here... |
