Sorry Goose, it’s time to buzz the tower!
OK, like all the other dialogue in ‘Top Gun’, we know what Cruise is really saying by buzzing Goose’s tower – but you can’t play volleyball without a Top Gun reference, can you? Even when there are no bikinis, no sand, and the sun’s gone away for the winter. (Actually, there was a precious shortage of volleys, too.)
It’s only the third time I’ve made it down the gym, but I’m glad the gorgeous Maina pushed the class into it: an hour of thrashing and flailing on court was just what I needed to get my rapidly-becoming-butterlike ass back into the swing of things. And hey, discovering how to get the net up (30 mins) was almost as much fun as playing the game itself!
And it proved something else: the exchange crowd from Mannheim are proportionately more fun that the rest of the MBA cohort. Of the six players, five were Mannheimers. I’ve got to infuse this ‘volleyball spirit’ into the rest of the gang somehow.
