Seemed like a Good Idea at the Time

The weather's getting pretty rough. As I write this, it's thirty degrees outside and raining sideways. What's the athletically inclined outdoorsey type supposed to do? Well, until it freezes and you can start skiing/skating/downhill machete ice sculpting, you just might need to stay inside. The gym offers one possible solution, but playing ping pong inside a tent is NOT an option.

You just can't compete with a piece of rip-stop, seam-sealed, waterproof fabric. Those things never miss, and the silicone coating puts more English on the ball than the Queen herself. (Besides, ping pong is an indoor sport anyway...)

Unless you want The Coleman Company to shred your ping pong record, you may just have to brush up on your knitting for the next few weeks. On the plus side, you can make yourself a nice pair of socks for ski season.
