Father and Sons

This is probably a silly blog, but something I want to remember. Last night John and I went to watch David and Trever play Church Basketball against each other. I told John he better wear his tennis shoes just in case because our team has been a few short each week. Well, needless to say, they only had 3 there and so John had to play. If they have 4 they can play and pick up someone else from another team. Well, my Johnny P. hasn't played BKB in a very long time, and he is getting older. Right off the bat him and Trever go for the same ball and he holds tough. It was a jump ball. Pretty funny to watch though. He doesn't move as fast as he used to and it is a pretty big court. They have no subs so he has to play the whole game. Sometimes he doesn't go clear to the other end, and sometimes they throw him the ball and he can't get to it. Trev's team beat us by 3 points but it was a good game. On the way home, John says he thinks his arms have gotten shorter. He can't reach around and steal the ball like he used to. He also said I think they kept throwing the ball ahead of me because I couldn't get to it. We laughed and laughed because he knew he just didn't run fast enough to get to it. I think his boys really skunked him last night, but I was proud of him for even trying. I was a bit worried about him because he has high blood pressure and his knees pop out sometimes but he said I just took it easy on everyone, including myself. What a goof!!!!
