  • Fooseball

    At work, we have a basketball hoop given to us by the SVP when we need to pass the time or need to relax. This past Christmas, he gave us a fooseball table as well. We just played on it and my team won 10-9. I played defense.

    Which reminds me of when I went to NY for a New Years Celebration with the family when my brother worked in Manhattan back in 2001. We went to the company quarters when everyone was away. There was a fooseball table there as well and my dad challenged me to a game. I'm thinking, "Dad... do you even know what fooseball is?" We played and in 5 minutes tops, he had beaten me 10-0.

    He chuckled afterwards and told me that in the Army he had played fooseball with his friends often and was one of the best there.

    Now how's that for something I never knew about my dad before.
