Badminton

Last week I took a long awaited step out from behind the front that I have been falsely living behind for the last decade and a half. And after much contemplation over a $15 registration fee, I decided that it would be selfish for me to continue shiedling from the world my god-given talents. Let it be known that D-Rock is back to rule the roost on the Badminton court. My fellow MedSLP-er in crime, Jessica, and I signed up as a team for the UW Intermural Mixed-group Badminton Tournament 2007. Yep...after a 14 year hiatus from Freshman PE at dear old East High, Derek is once again showing the world how well he can handle a shuttlecock. And Jessica, a former badminton champion and birdie exterminator, felt the need to get down and dirty after hours and hours of professionally/polite clinic behavior. Behind the dark hair, cute smile and pearl necklace is a force of nature only a few brave souls would dare go up against.

Today we spent the better part of 37 minutes prepping ourselves at the IMA, working on our service, backhand, smashes and basic doubles strategery. We're pretty much going to wipe the court clean with those undergrads.

Basically it's going to suck for anybody else to go up against us.
