Mark, if the 7th Day Adventist thought you were a basketball player, she and
you were in a highly imaginative space from the start! (I know Mark).
I will not indulge any more elaboration here - except I continue to think
ping-pong players, at their subtle best, male and female are closer to the
mark. The usually one on one nature of the sport eliminates the jealousies
that get aroused among teams.
But enough of metaphor - these days, balls are hardly a prescription to, as
they say, 'getting down.'
