Did you play sports as a kid? I never could, so the actual mechanics of the game don’t appeal to me. They don’t hearken back to my childhood or hit me in the nostalgia. I did try playing street football with friends, but more than one or two plays and I was done. Asthma. So glad it doesn’t bother me so much these days. It was a real bitch back then. Then again, it kept me from joining the military. A lot of military in my family. Who knows how I woulda turned out. Might be working in the Pentagon or something by now. I can’t even imagine that. Might be better off, financially, but what kind of person would I have been? Anyway… numbers, results, it’s really just a means to an end to make conversation.
I was no athlete by any means, but yes. For organized sports I played little league and one summer of soccer. But mainly my brothers and I were very active. Our back yard was perfect for football, and we sometimes set up a short golf course. We played a lot of football with friends, basketball, etc. while I was especially bad at skating, we played neighborhood hockey. In college I played intramural football and volleyball (my roommate was from Brazil, so we kicked ass in beach volleyball).
