All along, they've been indicating that we will be receiving an Economic Stimulus Check that gives us $600 apiece (Sharon and me), and up to $300 per child. Some scary wording, there: up to. Well, I'm pleased to announce that I just checked the ol' bank statement and it's a full $300. Seeing as our tax lady told us we could claim 10 dependents and still come out even, this should not have been surprising. But you never want to count those chickens till they hatch.
In other news, I tracked down the old wake-up basketball league I last played in 10 years ago and asked them if they'd have need for an occasional sub. Things worked out much better than I'd hoped, as they put me in the "draft" for the summer league. My first game is tomorrow morning, 6 a.m. sharp. I remember how creaky and non-limber I felt playing at that hour when I was 29. I can only imagine what it's going to feel like tomorrow morning.

So are you 39 now?
Great job getting back into it. I wonder who will be the first to get back into something and seriously hurt themselves. Not now, but in maybe 15 years or more. Probably me.
Basketball certainly takes a toll in ways that general fitness does not.
I've played every Tuesday night during the school year for almost 10 years now, and the older I get the more tired and worn out I feel on Wednesday. But it fades pretty quick.
