It was a match made in heaven. A wife who wanted to unclutter the garage. A maturity challenged men's XC team with an off-campus house in dire need of harmless recreational activities. The plan was hatched. The air hockey table, a monstrosity of a thing that cluttered up our already cluttered garage, would find a new home to more than willing new owners. We inherited this thing from our neighbors, so we negotiated a very fair price for this transaction. Easy enough. Now, how would it be TRANSPORTED. Immediately, I targeted Hickey's ancient (1999) Volvo station wagon. Yes. It's a station wagon. Not an SUV or sport utility wagon or anything like that. It's an old fashioned wagon. And it's old. So if wedging this bad boy into the back of the wagon meant a few dents and dings to moldings, who cares? Luckily, Gregg ("Bryan Buttigieg") was in town to assist with this process. It worked. It was stuffed inside the Volvo, secured by Gregg, and made its way down Route 9G without damaging the car or becoming a very identifiable flying object. Hickey reported that table re-assembly will be put off till Sunday. The guys are tired. They capped off preseason had a long, hard run this morning, followed by lift and core. Tomorrow is a very light recovery day -- a great opportunity to put together the air hockey table that hopefully will provide hours of entertainment to the overgrown children in the off-campus house. Nicely done!
