A Pleasant Summer Day...

It was a very pleasant summer day. Started out being overcast and cool. Great weather for outdoor basketball. There were a few folks that felt the same way. There was a good turn-out for the games this morning. I got in kind of late, so, I may not have seen the full crowd. But, when I did make it out to the Chaparral, there were twenty persons hooping. Always a good sight for me, even though I was the unfortunate 21st person.

But that was a good thing in a way, because it gave me an opportunity to take a bunch of pictures. I am trying to follow the recommendation from the Commissioner, and get more action pictures. The difficulty is the speed of the shutter for my camera. I push the button for the picture but there is a slight delay. What can I say? The camera has it's own personality. It takes the photograph when it's good and ready.

Somehow I managed to get some action pictures though. And there was plenty this morning. Everyone was still fully charged even though most had been at it for a while, and most of the morning had fled away. I got in at about 9:00 AM. I thought I would be the last one in, but Zach and a friend of his got there about 20 minutes after me.
Father Victor got to Chaparral long before I did. I think I may become the new official late arrival guy, and steal the title from Victor. I won't complain though, at my advanced age, I need the additional rest more than anyone else there. I need far more than Victor, so he will have to relent and allow me to be the last person in. I hope your making a note of this Victor.

I'm sure your starting to wonder who was there....

Danny and Danny M.; Tony, Mike F., Tom, Virgil, Margaret, Nacho, Larry, New Zealand Joe; of course Victor, Zach and friend; Jerry and Junior, Albert, Shane, Scott and I probably forgot, or didn't see a few more. But, as always, it was great seeing everyone. For me, the best way to get the weekend started. I hope everyone had a great weekend and has a great week. See you all next week.....
