spreading world peace, one playground at a time

recipe for a saturday afternoon in brooklyn:

- take a bus out to Flatbush to buy a kickball.
- choose the blue camouflage one with bratz on it, natch.
- head to prospect park and meet friends.
- decide that seven aren't enough and recruit five strangers to play with you. after all, everyone loves kickball.
- watch Brian take a flying leap to avoid a throw-out, only to gash his hand on a rock (he took it for the team).
- after a heated 6(?) innings, end the game when someone reaches 15, or when the sun goes down, whichever comes first.
- share your drink boxes and little debbie snacks with your new friends (or, if you're hypoglycemic, celebrate your team's win with a cigar instead).
- go home. stretch those tired and sore muscles. kickball is more strenuous than you remember from the 4th grade.
- nap. prepare for a good night out.
