I'm shedding my Vanilla Thunder identity as of today. My dunking quest is over. Can't even get rim any more. I'm just me and I intend to set out a chronicle of post-prime basketball in all its infamies, ingloriousness, with detours for its small victories.
I'm feeling inspired to restart the Church of the Hardwood blog after last night's fiasco: my city league team lost by 36 points. And here's the saddest part: it was one of our better outings. My knees have passed from creaky to burny. I threw up an airball and collected four fouls. I have just written a quote from Samuel Beckett on a post-it note and put it up on my computer at work:
"Try again. Fail again. Fail better."
