Wednesday, July 23rd. Almost caught up now.
It was agreed all around that it was a really bad idea for me to go out to play in this year's BUDA Good Cause hat tournament. I have been sidelined pretty much since February after I rolled an ankle playing Thursday night hoops. And the weather forecast called for humid weather in the 90s. But maybe this is all for the best as these disinclinations ensured I would not even think of attempting any over-exertion.
And that's the way it turned out: four games played without undo wear and tear. As a hat tournament, we were paired up by the crack tournament organizers, seen in the pictures below. I was paired as co-captain with Buzz (not pictured) a teammate from some past BUDA hat league season.
Good Cause was very well run and raised over $10,000 for this year's cause. Harpoon Brewery was the major corporate sponsor and provided some incentives for the top money-raisers. Think of Harpoon next time you are at the packy.
Wondering what Skippy is chugging there after the day was over? It is a jar of pickle (dill) juice. In some Ultimate circles, it is believed dill pickles are just the thing to keep you hydrated and electrolyted through a long day on the fields. Maybe they just make you thirsty enough to drink more water? I dunno.
