Volleyball
On Saturdays we drive 90 miles across a beautiful stretch of southern big Island, to the Isle of You farm, for naked volleyball. It is the premiere queer event on the island. Each week, for four to five hours, a couple dozen of us guys hang out, eat munchies, and otherwise imbibe, and play some good old fashion volleyball.I have never been accused of being athletic, and I had no real experience at the game before coming to Hawaii. Each weekend, I have played. At first I would only play the first game or two of the day, before it gets competitive. Yet, the more I play the more I want to play, and lately I have been playing through the whole afternoon. Lately, many in the group have been complimenting me, and telling me that I am become a much better player than I was at the start. I really appreciate this guys, and I want you to know that you've helped me a lot. Just keep telling me what to do, and I'll get it!
The game is very much about teamwork. In fact, it seems that what is most fun about the game for eveyone, is when we can keep a volley going for a long time. It becomes less important that one side make a point, and more important that we can keep the ball in the air and keep it going.
It was a beautiful sunny day, and we played hard. I'm sore this morning, but its a good sore!
The picture is from a fund-raiser event that happened before we got here, called "Wig Volleyball". We don't usually wear the wigs, but you get the idea!
