Chemistry

Some want to play to help them lose weight. Some want to play because that's what they've done the last 3 summers. Some play to get away from their kids for a few hours. Some play just to get some fresh air.

I play to be a student of the game, absorbing the Life lessons sport has to teach. I play to compete. I play to breathe... because sport is my oxygen. Intense? Heck yeah. No apologies here though. There are enough people sleep-walking through life. Count me out.

Half the crew is out for a jog. Half the crew is out to compete. Should I stay with the team and hope that attrition strips away the irritated few who didn't sign up to push themselves? Or should I walk away, as promised? Two games left in the regular season... stay tuned true believers.
