The Park
Posted: Sat Aug 16, 2008 9:59 pm
I live across from a park.
It is better than television.
Every day, yoga ball dude takes the field. He tosses a big, purple yoga ball over the fence, crawls underneath at a section with a gap, pulls his equipment through after him, and assembles himself in the shade. The activity is as such: Take a hockey stick, bat a tennis ball around the field, practicing agility. Hit the tennis ball into the air and try to schwack it back up again after it lands. After about fifteen minutes, switch to a tennis racket because it is better at schwacking. When almost blind and disabled from craning his head upwards and staring into the sky, rest on said yoga ball for five minutes then repeat.
Unfortunately, yoga ball dude has met his match. A flock of Canadian Geese has taken up residence in the park for most of the daylight hours. Apparently the worms there are good pickin's. I fully expect that yoga ball dude and the geese will have a showdown this week. I'm not sure who to bet on. He's got unnatural weapons but they outnumber him.
I'm practicing my Howard Cosell voice for the match when the day arrives.
