If you want to play .... play

A week ago when Marie was in Maricopa waiting for Lyla's arrival, I started going down to the park on my bike after supper with my basketball.  Marana constructed an awesome park with BBall courts, tennis courts, etc. just 1.5 miles from the house.  I went down this evening.  Within 5 minutes, I was playing horse with a Marana high school sophomore player.  Five minutes later, I was in a 2v2 game with three Marana players.  Me and the fat kid lost 21-16.  Fair enough.  Then I heard them talking about 'smoking' and I don't think they were talking about cigarettes.  Without lecturing, I told them if you want to play, play.  If you want to be a dope, do dope.  I left on my bicycle.  They were respectful enough.  I'll be back tomorrow looking for the same kids.  This time, I will lecture.  By the way, one kid knows who Shane Battier is, and one kid thought he knew who Dick Vitale is.
