"Old Marrieds beat Young Whipper Snappers"

Callie and I have been going to two different 'young marrieds' groups these past three weeks trying to get plugged in to Mosaic. Both groups are great and had many things to offer. The one we chose was on Tuesday nights because there are 8 other couples currently going to it. We figured it would be a great opportunity to get to know quite a few couples quickly. The other group only had 2 other couples. So, in order to get to know them quickly I decided to join them in 'bearing all' at a church sponsored Dodgeball Tourney! Us 'old marrieds' decided we create a team and dress up to intimidate the other teams. Our uniform consisted of basically sleeveless shirts, mullets (or mullet wigs), and jorts! For those of you unfamiliar with jorts...they are jean shorts cut very short. Needless to say, our pasty white legs and unkempt hair distracted the other teams enough that we won the whole tournament. We did not even lose a single game. There were 6 teams all consisting of young single college age types and each round was a best of 5 in order to win. But, we did not even need to go farther than 3 games each time. Who's to say that old broken men don't have fight left in them? The wives were too embarrased to even come so they went out to a local 'ale house' for dinner. We met up after and celebrated our victory!
