Today's games brought to you by the letter "S" for satisfaction... Instead of 1-10, went 9-2.
Good start to the day, as the smallest team I can think of that wasn't of the Nerds variety took on the talls, including Sand Jesus and Other Sand Chris, Mikey, Kenny Rogers, Navy, Amazing Steve, and some mixes and matches thereto as games progressed. Lotta height on the other side vs LJ, Dub, Jarrod, New York, Tbone, yours truly.
Dynasty! The ways of the water are still strange to the Sand People, and tall people must both hit and pass. But it was far from easy. We were down in a couple of those games. Dub, as usual, was magnificent, but LJ pointed out that a lotta our points came with a smaller front line, meaning everyone contributed. Very good team effort.
Then later in the day down again, like 2-10, but the energy returned, and we refused to lose, then refused to win being down 15-2 to the last game to 21, although we managed to climb back up to 11 points. I blame the return of the Bumble Bee, and Dub finding his serve for that one...
Notables--sing it with me: "Amazing Steve, how sweet the blocks" he got many of the players today, including me. Pretty good serves too. All in the pool. New Your and Kyle found their hits on more than one occasion. Good play by lady sanders today, one of whom blocked Kenny Rogers. Skinny Tbone continues to impress. "Chief is the answer??" Sometimes, yes! Dan came in with heater serves, and had one super duper hit--are his alien mutant powers finally manifesting themselves?
Because if you put your body through all this stress with heat and cold, activity and inactivity, a la Deadpool, year after year, you either mutate, or you die!
We are the makers of mutant music, and visions of volleyballs dance in our heads.
Well done. Until next time...
