Frisbee


So one of the things I like to do happens on Thursday nights at the baseball field behind the LA Temple and that's play Ultimate Frisbee. For those who don't know what that is, it's a combination of football and frisbee throwing. Some of the people are super competitive, but others are there just for the fun of it and to run around some. Keep in mind that it's the middle of winter, yet here I am outside in shorts and a t-shirt running and playing.

It's completely non-contact, but I do get the assorted bumps and bruises from jumping and diving after frisbees. That's kind of my specialty; coming out of nowhere to either knock down the pass (if I'm on defense) or catch the frisbee that looks like it's going to hit the ground. Lots of fun, little bit of pain afterwords, but it's worth it. Just ask John, he's played it here before.

Our youth in Mercer Island loved to play it for joint activities. It's fun for everyone. Maybe it'll be an Olympic sport in the future.
