Every year, on the Saturday after Thanksgiving for the better part of the last decade, I've been going to the alumni Turkey Bowl football game at my old camp. It's a day when counselors of generations past can get together for some football, followed by wings and beer afterwards at a bar down the road. That last part might be why I look forward to this day.
Football is hardly a strength of mine, but I like the camaraderie and male bonding it allows. I'm usually happy just to score a touchdown and make an interception here and there, and I'm always happy for the exercise.
This year the camp director showed up and not only made us sign waivers, but made us wear flags and play flag football instead of tackle. Most of the guys were not happy about this.
We still enjoyed ourselves for a few hours before daylight gave out on us and we headed to the bar.
