I actually started to get kind of chilled because of the strong winds and the occasional cloud that blocked the sun's warming rays. Eventually, I saw a couple of people who were throwing the disc around and I walked towards them. One of the figures started waving at me. Since I still haven't gotten my new glasses, I still can't resolve objects at a distance that well so I couldn't recognize the person. First I double checked to see if I was the one being waved at by looking behind me. Hmm, nobody. Must be me. (I've been wrong before.) But I could not rule out the possibility that I was mistaken. When I got close enough, I recognized who it was. Oh.. I guess she WAS waving at me! (The next time a cute girl waves at me I should wave back right?)
Anyway, pickup went fairly well. A lot of people showed up, enough for two games! I had joined the first game, and stuck with it despite the fact that the second game sucked all of our subs, and basically any new players that game along. Eventually, the first game consisted of mostly expert players plus me (they were running circles around me). Furthermore, we only had one girl in our group. All of the other girls ended up playing in the second game (which is probably why we ended up losing so many of our guy subs).
Anyhoo, I got a lot of practice and learned a lot from playing with these guys. I so often want to do the hail mary pass since it's so easy, but the best thing to do is to work it up the field. I've got to practice that. It was fun watching and participating in those thrusts though.
After ultimate, I finally was able to go home and take a shower. I eventually found my way to DeeL's place where a Thanksgiving dinner was being held. Most of the clan were there. Actually, I've met virtually all of them before but I was much shorter back then. I didn't recognize most of the adults (well, I guess I'm an adult now but you know what I mean) but I remembered most of the kids. (But not the kid kids, just the kids in my age group.)
It was pretty fun and the food was good. We ended up playing bridge, the word game, and MJ before I headed home. We had some great word game moments, but you really would've had to have been there to appreciate the full humor of the situation(s). We also saw some rock climbing videos and some guy who was doing some crazy stunts. Apparently he's got lessons for $150 if anyone wants to try. I'll have to find the website.

It's also known as the name game.
