My grandson Ethan playing some hoops.

I always loved playing basketball. I can remember spending hours on the basketball court at the elementary school across the street from our house in Chino.  Phi and Red and I against any and all comers.  Red was big and took up the middle and Phil was the shooter.  I was the playmaker and passer.  I was never all that good, and never went out for the high school team, but I sure enjoyed the game.
 

 

I suffered my first sprained ankle playing basketball in the gym at Chino H.S. and was on crutches for 2-3 weeks.  Of course once you sprain them, your ankles are never the same.  I sprained both ankles over and over again over my lifetime.  I guess I'm safer on my bicycle.
