the return of smash volleyball

I had an incredible time playing "Smash Volleyball" with musician friends tonight! We came to a court that had the promise of freshly-tilled, weedless sand. Instead, we found a huge pile of sand on one side of the court with all of the weeds we remembered from two weeks ago still covering a good portion of the court. So Stephanie ran home and picked up shovels and a rake, and Glen, Cody & Guy spread it out. 

We played through the rain, sun, rain-and-sun combination, rainbows, the smacking of the forearms from the wet, sandy ball, and smack-talking competition. About two-thirds of the way through the evening, half of our players had deserted, but Rob, Marie, Bonnie, Maureen, Glen and I played some serious 3-on-3 v-ball. By that time, we really didn't care that it was raining because we were soaked and sandy. And then the sun came back out and it was beautiful anyway. It was a blast!

As soon as I get some pictures from the evening, I'll post 'em.
