ULTIMATE!!

Just completed a 2-hour-plus Ultimate session.




Did I mention I love this game?!?!?!






I'm reminded again of this most excellent quote:


"I could have coped without walking, climbing stairs, or tying shoes—these things are trivial—but down this path I would also have to give up playing Ultimate, and that just didn't work for me. I've always planned to die playing Ultimate, and how can I do that if I can't play?"

    Oh yeah, about the quote, if you click the label "Ultimate" at the bottom of the post, then check the post on 07.20.2007, you'll get to an article I found in U.S. News and World Report.
