One fine day, Michael stopped by to show me how to play basketball. He began by stretching his arms,
../../../Sabbat/06.10.02MIWHoops//IMG_0610
then he dribbled an imaginary ball
../../../Sabbat/06.10.02MIWHoops//IMG_0611
and studied our garden
../../../Sabbat/06.10.02MIWHoops//IMG_0612
All of this meditation made him ready to line up his shot,
../../../Sabbat/06.10.02MIWHoops//IMG_0613
the ball went up
../../../Sabbat/06.10.02MIWHoops//IMG_0614
neared the hoop
../../../Sabbat/06.10.02MIWHoops//IMG_0615
and bounced away
../../../Sabbat/06.10.02MIWHoops//IMG_0616
but he grabbed the rebound
../../../Sabbat/06.10.02MIWHoops//IMG_0617
studied the board carefully
../../../Sabbat/06.10.02MIWHoops//IMG_0618
../../../Sabbat/06.10.02MIWHoops//IMG_0619
and put the shot back up
../../../Sabbat/06.10.02MIWHoops//IMG_0620
and it spun into the hoop
../../../Sabbat/06.10.02MIWHoops//IMG_0621
and fell
../../../Sabbat/06.10.02MIWHoops//IMG_0622
for the game winner.
To celebrate, we took pictures of the new paperweights, FDNY
