After two hours of basketball today, for the first time in years, I came face to face with a few facts. I'm nowhere near the athlete I once was.
Now, I was never a GREAT basketball player, let's put that out there right now. But I always enjoyed the game and I was far from the worst guy on the court.
I'm still one of the fastest guys on the court, hoop to hoop, and I'm still agile. My defense is still able to hold its own too.
But my offense......
Offensive. Let's just say I'm a lot more of a team player now. I can drain threes a bit still, and layups I'm still all over, but man.....I was missing that hoop like nobody's business today.
And, yeah, I can spout a ton of excuses, I'm 35, it's in the high 80s-low 90s and really humid, there was no shade, blah, blah, blah.
Truth is, I've just not been keeping up with the necessary skills to remain truly competitive. Damn life getting in the way, or maybe I've just been lazy.
Now, I suppose, the question is......what am I going to do about it??? ;)

Dun-Dun-Dah-nuhn-dun-dahnuh-dun-danah
Okay, if you know me at ALL, you know how excited the announcement of Star Wars Celebration VI makes me. (All info HERE)
Last year I had a hell of a time and met some truly amazing people that I am honored to have in my life. In the Facebook version of this post, you've been tagged.
Star Wars Celebration is more than just a convention, it's also an experience, as anyone who has ever been to one will tell you. So much so, I've already been talking to my boss from CV to work with the crew for CVI, lol.
I've also always loved the science of Star Wars, and have been known to create, in all modestly, some pretty good models of the ships from the Original Trilogy, and from some of my genre writing.
See??
Also working on a Slave 1 and Death Star Diorama at the moment.....
Oh, and I KNOW that THIS time my Jedi friend will make it down ;P. (And I'll probably drag the little Sith Messer too, bwahahaha)
And just 'cause I Can......GALACTIC EMPIRE STATE OF MIND!!!
