Turkey Bowl

It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without the annual turkey bowl. Every year we find a spot on the National Mall and play a game of touch football the day after Thanksgiving. It's an NCC tradition! The funny thing is that the day after Thanksgiving is a huge tourist day in DC and for some strange reason we were a little bit of a tourist attraction. I saw several people stop and take pictures of us playing football with the Capitol in the backdrop.

My shoulder is sore from playing quarterback. My hamstrings are sore from playing a little cornerback. And I've definitely lost half a step :) But what a blast. I think ex-athletes have this sadistic side that loves the soreness. It hurts but it feels great.

If you see me limping into the pulpit this weekend you'll know why!
