Better ball, The Summit

Last night I played volleyball again. I was happy that my overall play was much more consistent this week than last. I had a few hits. I would have had my best hit in 12 years. I had a good approach and swung very hard, unfortunately it caught the top of the net. Just the sound of my hand making that type of impact triggered memories of years ago. As usual I emerged as the most sand covered player on the court, and it felt good.

Yesterday for no particular reason I decided to change my profile picture on Facebook. Since last summer it has been a pic I took when I was in the Adirondacks with my family where I was on the laptop doing a blog entry, ironically.

I cut out an image of me from a recent YouTube thumbnail and inserted it near the the top of rough, steep and treacherous rock formation. It was meant to be symbolic in nature. I won’t spoil it by laying it all out but I think if you read my blog on a regular basis you can likely figure out what I was going for.
