Minutes to Memories

Okay, to complicate things once more, here's a THIRD picture to consider. For those that liked the one posted yesterday, this one is just a bit further away. I like that it has "Nam" at the end of Vietnam (since it was the slang anyway) as well as the year 1973 which, in addition to marking the end of the Vietnam War, also marked the year Jim retired. What do you think about this one compared to the one posted yesterday???

Tonight was a night for basketball. Thirteen men gathered at our church building to eat dinner, fill out our NCAA brackets, and engage in a little hoops action of our own on the church parking lot. Even though I moved as little as possible, I still ended up with a blister.

Basketball used to pretty much be my life, but those days are LONG gone now. It is a bit depressing to even play informal games like tonight. I never played anything halfway, but between the aging out-of-shape body and a long story for another time about a shattered leg and an ongoing fear of injury, halfway is the best I can do now. Which is depressing.

But spending time with a good group of men from our church family... well, as the commerical says: priceless.
