Senior Sports

I remember years ago when my friends played basketball at the pool. They would get a group of guys together. They shot hoops and returned to the pool red and sweaty. Now they are getting older. Yesterday one man brought a basketball to the pool. His wife yelled at him for bringing it. The other man's wife told him that he was not allowed to play since he has a pacemaker. The two men looked at each other and gave in. Then one of the men asked his wife for a quarter. He put it on the ground and asked his friend to play hit the penny. In this case it was hit the quarter. They bounced the ball back and forth, sometimes hitting, sometimes missing. For some reason the reality of aging was now clear.
