Jeff and I tried playing Squash for the first time today. I was able to purchase a montly membership for Jeff for the Education facility only, so now he can join me for lane swims, and we can experience a new sport together.
The 45 minutes we had the court booked for flew by. Of course, neither of us knew how to play, so we checked out a few sites on the inter-web and was able to get the jist of the rules. We weren't actually able to play an game too effectively, but it was a good opportunity to learn how to rally and serve. I am sure we will be a lot better by the summer. We both had a really great time.
After Squash, we headed over to the famer's market downtown, and I managed to finally get some mint for my Pimms drink. I am looking forward to a relaxing day on the deck.

How To Play Squash, by cenobyte:
Hit the fuck out of a little blue ball, attempting to rebound it off the wall directly into your opponent's face. Played with one's father during one's adolescence, it is a transcendental experience.
Note: Do not get hit by the little blue ball. It hurts like stink and can cause your uncle's retina to detach.
Yeah, that's why I always wear eye protection when I play squash; if I got hit by that little blue ball and my uncle's retina detatched, I'd feel like a right arsehole.
;)

I don't think it matters *who* the ball actually hits; eventually, somebody's uncle loses an eye.
(snicker - I know this is a big faux pas, but the random selection of letters to type in here to validate that I'm really real and not just advertising T3Xa$$ ho7e-dem says "yratrd". WHEEE!)
