The girls are upstairs sleeping soundly after a fun trip to the mall.  Alli, Jim, Gabe and I took a nighttime swim and now it’s already midnight. I am exhausted and ready for bed.  But what am I doing instead?  Listening to the sounds of an intensely competitive ping-pong game downstairs.  This isn’t just your normal ping-pong game.  This is a fight-to-the-death, winner-takes-all, loser-is-a-moron match.  I don’t know who’s winning, since they’re both groaning and whooping down there.  I just hope the girls don’t inherit their dad’s competitive streak, or else I suspect I will be witnessing many more loud and crazy ping-pong games in my basement.
