GRIZZLY PEAR

Frisbee

One of the local parks has a frisbee golf course so we brought one with us this latest visit.

First, I most likely could use “better” frisbees. I remember the game store in Berkeley having a whole wall of different frisbees for aficionados of this hobby.

Second, I have no idea if it made me any better, but I was constantly reminded of what I learned in Tai Chi. I tried to root my self in the ground and let the body relax, whipping around to initiate a wobbly sad flight trajectory.

Third, my almost 40 year old body was pretty compliant while on site. But it only took the ride home for my left arm to decide that this sudden uptick in this particular repetitive action was traumatic enough to send alarm bells for the rest of the day.

Finally, my daughter had a ball running up and down the hills chasing the frisbee and throwing it around.

My last two decades in a nutshell, encapsulated in a plastic disc.
