Good Sports

Sam and I had the bright idea to play Frisbee last night. We got the idea from a couple of weeks back, when we walked up to the tower. Down below the tower is a large field, and on that particular day there was no one there except for a couple of people who were playing Frisbee. 

We watched them for a while and I mentioned that it looked kind of fun and that maybe we could play sometime. Somewhat to my surprise, Sam thought it looked fun, too.

Last night, Sam reminded me of this and that maybe playing Frisbee would be a good idea instead of a walk. So, we went to the field below the tower but there was a baseball game going on. After driving around for a little while, we ended up playing in a field at the elementary school down the street.

Our game only lasted about half as long as our usual walk, but it was about four times as grueling. I was luckier than Sam - I had Sam tossing to me. He had to deal with me tossing it to him, or rather, attempting to toss it to him.

Needless to say, about eighty percent of the game consisted of one of us, usually Sam, retrieving the Frisbee from places it had no business being. 

With a little practice though, I’m pretty sure that by the end of summer, we can get that average down to about seventy percent.
