It's frisbee season, when most other areas of recreation are pushed aside, pushed back, or pushed under to make way for it.
Knitting, reading, blogging, house keeping, cooking, even jogging... These are things that become neglected in my life from mid-May until the end of August. I can hardly regret it, since I adore the sport, and it covers many bases: recreation, socializing, exercise, and even family time since Sweetie McPie and I often play together, watch each other play, and have lots to talk about on the topic. We bring the kids to our league games - they're sometimes bored, but often then enjoy playing outside, interacting with our teammates, and we often stay afterward to throw (er, "throw") the disc with them. Constance thinks we're very cool for being able to run around like we do at our age!
Although frisbee makes up a big part of our social life in the summer, it's not really the important part of our social life. I'm ashamed to admit that it's hard to keep in touch with anyone who we don't run into in person - which happens to be our closest friends and family. The days fly by, and suddenly I haven't talked to Mum or Dad or Taller Funner Sister or Comic Sister or Susie-Q in weeks that are threatening to become months. And then I get dragged back down into the fray... Which, after a weekend of seven games of frisbee, with another two nights of league play upcoming, is really just the need to SLEEP. After eating.
And see... It's time to get changed to run off to my game, so I can't even finish, or make my real point.

ahh, hk, enjoy frisbee season. honestly, i don't notice a big difference between busy-with-frisbee and busy-with-life. we talk when we talk. and when we talk it is always good. i'm totally down with that.
besides, thanks to the blogs, i feel way more in touch with what's up in your neck of the woods.
(is it sad that our relationship is mostly conducted on line? should we bemoan what technology has done to us or just accept it and reap the benefits?)
for example, i just made a trial run monkey cake. my cake decorating leaves much to be desired. the monkey's face is sliding off as i type. sigh. good thing it is only the trial. here's hoping saturday's goes better.
