“NOT BAD FOR OLD GUYS” — by Steve Nadis

A few weeks ago, an editor friend of mine got caught in a traffic jam while driving along the river–at the same time, coincidentally, that my group was playing volleyball along the river. “That’s Steve, someone who writes for my magazine,” she told her son, who plays volleyball on the high school varsity squad. After watching for a bit, while stuck in gridlock, the lad offered the following assessment: “Not bad for old guys.”

And he was catching me on a bad day–my first time out in nine months (no, I was not pregnant!), plus I had a sprained thumb (about which too much has already been said) that was all taped up and definitely messed up my setting. Had he seen us under better conditions, he might have upgraded the remark to: “Not half bad for old guys.”

    I also recall a recent foot injury caused by a jigsaw puzzle. Quite a compliment from the kid considering the handicaps. Go old guys!
