So, I have a confession to make. I enjoy perusing the pages of the classifieds at KSL.com and maybe a little over a month ago, I made a great investment. An investment gone bad. I purchased a Sportcraft foosball table from a guy up in Sandy who said that his grandkids watch too much television and don't care to play games so his nice, barely used foosball table needed to be gone. It was taking up too much space.
We thought that it would be more for our visitors and 'take up space' in the basement that we inhabit, but it has quickly become our favorite (or least favorite, for me) pastime at home. We nearly play once a day at least and often play twice, many times in an intense 3 game series, winner being the first to score 10 goals.
Well, this is the confession part. MY WIFE BEATS ME. Literally beats the tar out of me. I am thinking of taking lessons because it irks me that she is consistently beating me. I think that I have only won once out of the last 20 or so contests. Embarassing. The only solace that I take is that I know she wouldn't beat me in 1-on-1 basketball. I know she couldn't strike me out if she tried, and I am quite confident that I would beat her at racquetball! I seriously need to take foosball lessons. Do any of you know of any trainers?
My cussing problem becomes more and more apparent during our nightly matches and I am tired of the "red guys". I am ready to admit that my disdain for all things red is likely what creates the bad karma that leads to loss after loss after loss! For now on, I get the "blue guys". I need to stop cussing.

Looks fun! I am glad to hear that even when Cathy beats you...you still come back for more. I beat Shane bowling one time and he has yet to take me bowling again.
Glad to find your blog. It will be fun to keep in touch a little better than we have.
i am in STITCHES!! And just and FYI . . . Jed won't even attempt to play me in scrabble any more cause he's a SORE looser! So I'm proud of you for sticking with it.
Jon,
I'll help you. We had a table up at USU. I don't remember all my old tricks but I'm sure I could still come up with a few.
Maldonado and I use to go down on p-days and play foosball in the Capital. Good times.
We ought to have a tournament sometime and BBQ. How's that for a self-invite.
Shane
