Back when I was a youngster, I used to always go out to play hoops with my buddies, sporadically all of us would have an uneven number of players but would try to balance things out.
Of course, one of my buddies would always complain about domination when the teams were unfair. Obviously, some of us were more skilled than others, and I wasn’t exactly the best player myself, but I did become pretty fine at my long range shots which made me a fine option in the games when the score was close. The biggest issue for me though was keeping comfortable while on the moderately warm afternoons. I would always tell everybody that I needed to go back to my home to get A/C breaks, then everybody laughed at me when I first did this, but I would bring cold drinks back for everybody and they would be happy. Usually it was just bottled water that I would bring back in an ice chest, but everybody appreciated that I looked out for them and gave a way for them to cool down on incredibly moderately hot afternoons. The cooling relief of an ice-cold drink is incredible! Everybody appreciated me being sort of the ‘water boy’, but I was enthusiastic to help everybody out plus get some cooling relaxation at the same time. The A/C back at home was always fantastic and I even had friends come over to play video games sometimes, plus they were able to see why I loved the cooling comfort so much from the AC system. These afternoons, I have a bball hoop in the driveway and play sometimes with the boys. The two of us do the same thing with the AC breaks plus cool drinks to this day. We have a great time playing ball, I must say.
