It was a brilliantly fun idea and something we haven't done since. On Saturday, Kyle and I had the whole day together with no errands to run. This would have been perfectly ideal were we not totally indecisive. So, we picked a city: Ann Arbor. And we wrote out 10 or so slips of paper with things we'd be interested in doing and tossed them in the bowl...
...got sidetracked for a minute to snap a few photos...
Into the car and out of the bowl came:
Well, a mother and young son were playing four tables down, and when they finished, came to stand and watch us. Really? You really want us setting an example for your son? Screaming, getting inventive with cussing so we're not really cussing, slamming our hand-guarded fist down onto the table, knocking the puck off the table as it soars and smashes against the wall?
Well, they didn't watch for long because apparently the mother didn't think we were great examples either. There's a reason we're playing at the very back table as far out of the public eye as possible. Getting intensely competitive about air hockey is sad. But it's who we are.
And then back to the car for our next draw...
