Do we have a new Rebel Base??? If Taz thinks so, it must be true!
This is looking like a really good year, people. Riata and the dear departed Argosy are one. And we're doing a pretty decent job integrating new people into the games.
I will humbly point out that 3 in a row = bust up the team and dry people play are technologies imported from the now dead and dormant dirty Philadelphia gym. They work, in the long term...
Important point: where there were 2 crews battling at the same venue, now we are one: UNITY!

On to today's action... Like yesterday, small ball had its moments. Starting with the first game, where me, LJ, Joe, Javi, Attorney Scott, and "Riata" Ryan took on what should've been a very dominant team: Jess, Ford, Dan(?) Joe, broken wrist guy, and Big Sandy (who looked very scary in warmup). We were overmatched, but won anyway. And were up 11-1 in the rematch, until the wheels fell off...
The Wild Boys are no more. T-2 retired, like Jim Back, for no apparent reason. But history abhors a vaccuum. So now we have the Smash Brothers--Jess and Ford. It's taken me a few years to figure out how to play in their world, but we've been having pretty good success of late.
While this is a booze-driven league, I know from personal experience to recoomend Pandas drink responsibly. Because you can see what happens in the alternative--the one game that no one I expect enjoyed where a few folks who'd had too many and talked way too much decided to take on the local golf pros.
I often wonder why they do this. Maybe they watch what we do and think it's easy(it's not); maybe they look and what we do and think it's fun(it is). Either way, it means we're doing something right, in the long term.
They were dead before they got on the court, twice as dead after. Mr. FU guy knew who we were, which is something,actually. I've been doing this for a few years, and have lost count of the number of people who want to knock my head off (including many who still play to this day
). Give em a chance, I say. But the court is a harsh mistress. No mercy when you get in, especially if you are jerky. It's called a teachable moment--this ain't no joke!

Kudos to Nate and Joe for playing with them so the game could be played and out of the way. Thank you, come again...
Times change. Techno drove the Argosy. Different music at the new Rebel Base. Players, too, maybe. I'm enjoying being the role player I've always been, and concentrating more on setting, so that this can happen in the parlance of the old times:

Speaking of setting, the next time Tiffer gets in the pool, use her passing talents. She's the best setter we have, and can rip some serves. Certified badass. Help out with her height challenge like you would anyone else--help her do her thing:

I do like my Latin--In Vino, Veritas! and especially, E Pluribus, Unum. It's on your money, people: "Out of Many, One." That's what ball is all about. And you will get good game, at the Riata, our new home
based on the full faith and credit of the AWVP. So say we all...
