A Hump Day Treat

I look forward to Wednesday evenings - not just because my work week is coming to a close, but because it means I get to kick back with a beer or two, hit the sand, and play some volleyball. I have always enjoyed playing volleyball, and to this day, it is still my favorite sport. I think I could play in a league every night of the week and not get sick of it. It's fun to just get out on the court, let loose, and play.

I am able to free myself from any irritability, frustration, and stress that has built up throughout the week and just laugh and joke and play as if I were a kid again.

It also helps that I have a great team to play with. The Pandas/Penguins have been playing together for about 6 months or so now and I feel like we've definitely grown as a team and are able to read each other better. We are starting to recognize our strengths and weaknesses, both as individuals and as a team. I think each game, we become more and more like a well-oiled machine. Oh sure, we have our 'unlucky' moments, but it's fun to watch our competitive nature come out and dominate. And it's been fun to watch as everyone improves on their game.
