Turkey Bowl 2005

Every year, a bunch of guys get together and play flag football and relive the glory days when men where men and ice cream was 15 cents at Thrifty( Remember that?). Anyways, the last time I played with these guys where many many many years ago. Back then, my legs where still working somewhat, and I still had some "Athletic Ability" to back it up. I looked good when I played. Had 2 touchdown catches, and I think an interception to boot. I gave it all I got. The next day, I was a paraplegic( I apologize to all the truly are). I could not move my legs. I literally had to use my hands to get my legs out of the car. It was painfully. And I told myself I will never do that again.
Now, fast forward four years later, my buddy Alvin again invited me to play. ( I normally turned him down every year). This time, we where gonna play in honor of a fallen friend, and I was not going to turn that down. But, I was under the impression that there where about 30 people that might show up and I figure I could substitute once in a while. Well, I was wrong. Only 13 guys showed up and I played the whole way through. But this time, I am less athletic, less on the legs, and even less on the drive. With one interception to my credit, the rest of the day I was getting beat. I could not cover anyone( I wore tennis shoes...duhh), nor could I get peoples flag as they ran by me. It was a sad day. And to top it of, I have to go to Disneyland tomorrow with my wife and kid. That means walking all day long. I wonder if they will give me one of those electric wheelchair, so I can ride around the park tomorrow. Pathetic, I know. Oh well. Have a great TURKEY DAY....I will post later on how I did at Disneyland. Wish me luck.
