Slippery When Wet

Umm...sorry, the title is not meant to mean something perverted. It's just that today we were crazy enough to play football in the rain and none of us were catching a single catch cuz the ball would just slide right through our hands our right down our chest. It was the funniest thing. But after a while we were starting to catch on to catching the wet ball. Well...catching was one thing and then throwing was another.

Nevertheless, it was fun. The rain didn't come down so hard. It a nice mist throughout. And with the nice cold weather, it made for a great game.

And I had a great game. I lost count, but I think I nabbed at least 6 touchdowns. 3 of them on a catch and run type plays and 3 on deep passes.

I had a great one just barely beating out Eric for a deep pass. I was able to out run him when the ball came my way. His arm went up as he was trying to bat the ball away just as I began to leap up to catch the ball. We were still both on the run. My arms stretched out just enough to grab the ball as it sailed past Eric's hands. Just as soon as I came down, I was met by the soccer goal post that was there. Luckily I didn't hit the post, but I also came crashing through the net. That was funny, but an awesome catch! Then I celebrated by doing the body crash in mid air with Taft...hahaha.

It was a fun day overall. I'm not too tired as we were all careful not to break our ankles out there on the wet grass so none of us were playing at full speed.

And of course...I would do my airplane impression
