Played last night at 7:00 p.m. (finally a non 9:00 p.m. game)against "Fun Size". We lost the first game, probably 13-21 or something similar. We won the second game 22-20 and lost the third 14-16, I think. We played pretty well, overall.
I managed to get my first decent spike in a couple of seasons. No issues jumping, or raising my right arm. It's nice to be fully functional again.
