Taking them to shul

Being that is was Tuesday, Rob and I went to the Ida Crown-St. Gregory's girls basketball game in West Rogers Park.

Our co-worker coaches the latter team and Rob and I wanted to support him (and get to a game early in case we don't make another one). St Greg's is mostly Hispanic and black, while Ida Crown is a Jewish private school.

I must mention, Rob is obsessed with Jewish day and high schools, going back to his glory days at Solomon Schechter, when he was considered semi-cool. (Not surprisingly most Schechter grads remember him, but no one at New Trier knew who he was)

The basketball was less than stellar (these girls are in a small school league, the kind that shouldn't be covered by the press), and we could only stay a little over a half. Here's some quick highlights:

Co-worker's hot Latina assistant coach, who's probably about 19. I tried not to stare, but not too hard.

A really cute Orthodox girl, probably about 20, with at least two kids. She could've had three or four, but I didn't check her purse or under her skirt.

One of Co-worker's players, a wing, probably dribbled herself into the right corner at least 10 times in the first half, with every possession ending in a turnover of some sort.

Then with 10 seconds left she's calmly dribbling up the court as the crowd counts down the seconds. With about four seconds left, she understands what we're doing, takes a few quick steps and calmly drops an NBA three. And if you think that was planned, it was only the team's 9th point of the half, so I'm guessing she doesn't end every practice like that.

It didn't take long for some smart-ass to crack, "I mean, I can hit threes, but I need to work on dribbling into a corner, so that's what I was doing..." I didn't catch his name, but he was damn handsome and funny to boot (and single).

OVERHEARD at the game:
"If Shaq shot free throws like that girl, I'd be winning my fantasy league."
Rob (of course), just before said girl bricked one

Closing thought:
Perhaps I shouldn't be so self-deprecating about my romantic and sex life. Today one of my girlfriends seriously suggested I try this site ... http://www.adultfriendfinder.com/go/p80913
