My Ultimate team has fractured slightly. Some of you know the story already, and some of you don’t. Basically, half the team wanted to be more competitive, and the other half was kind of holding them back. End result is that two new teams have been formed - I’m the founder and captain of the non-serious team, while Al has continued the captaincy of the serious team. Al drafted a sort of team description document, which I parodied when making up my own team manifesto. If anyone wants to see the two documents, let me know, and I’ll send them along. They’re a little too long to be posting here. As a teaser, I’ve been told that my manifesto had people falling out of their chairs laughing, that they laughed till they peed, and that it’s the funniest thing they’ve read in a long time. I suspect some of that was hyperbole.

Anyway, so I’m recruiting people to play Ultimate next year. I’ve got a few people signed up for sure, and quite a few maybes. If anyone out there is in Saskatoon and area, and is interested in trying a new sport in a non-serious way, let me know. We plan to have some fun next year.

And if that doesn’t work out, maybe I’ll start a local chapter of the World Adult Kickball Association. That sounds like it could be fun too.
