So...I have been trying for a while to get a lovely game of kickball on and have been unsuccessful...However, it starts NOW! Maybe late September/early October...anyone interested in playing a friendly game of kickball on say, Sunday afternoons, let's do it. At first, my thoughts are get together and play. If enough sowallers show, organize teams and play on a regular schedule. I welcome any and all ideas...Mine basically include KEG, SOWALLERS and FUNN!
GAME ON!
If this doesn't make you wanna play, you got issues.

You sure it is not a wayfinding sign to first base?I am pretty sure. Those wayfarer signs are built to break away upon impact. The flagpole just rattles and shakes violently upon impact.

Miss Kitty you would be proud of me, someone asked directions of me this week while I was in SoWal and I actually knew how to tell them how to get there. :funn:SoWal Expert

So what you are saying is that they didn't find the big blue signs to be helpful? (no reply needed. ;-))
hmmmm......can't remember
This really belongs in another thread, but here it goes...Let's pull down the blue signs and take them over to the field and see if they help...

You can use 'em as an outfield wall and call it the Big Blue Monster!

Actually they were looking for a shop on the back side of Gulf Place, so I used the Kickball field for reference. 
Go Kickball!!!

We are trying to eliminate poles from the playing field, not adding more. I was just warning you guys that the flagpole is on the field and if you run into at full speed, it hurts. Be careful out there.

Does this come from experience, dear?

absolutely. I am very thankful that I'm not in a coma in some cold hospital. I think some angels were in the outfield or something.

I really thought I would be in much pain, today, from that injury, but I'm just a little bruised, scraped and tender. I've noticed other bruises today from other falls and dives yesterday. I need to get in shape.

You better make sure your first aid kit is stocked and ready. Maybe I need to add a sling and a pair of crutches. And a helmet.

I keep one in the car- it came in handy a few weeks ago when Andy tore up his hands on the palm tree climbing expedition
I'll make sure to add a cold compress for next week 
Glad you're feeling OK today

One of my emergency kits is in the car, complete with hard hat. I actually had to get it out twice at kickball, yesterday, but I simply used some ice from one of the coolers, to reduce my swelling. Always adapt and use what you have.

This sounds more like Rugby instead of Kickball.

It can get pretty hard-core
but it's so much fun! I swear it's the highlight of my week! I already have the ball and bases in my car for this coming weekend...

uh, yah, i just gotta say - kickball is off the heezy kids!! and clearly my pitiful exercise routine does not include the intimate group of muscles necessary to exist as a proper kickball competitor. i'm in freakin traction here folks!
wild fun with no adult injuries - glad i missed the head on flag pole routine that was performed the previous week. i just keep telling myself that 40 is the new 30 and all my ligaments will stay attached. get off the couch kids and don't be scared - you can even drink beer while playing shortstop!
