Santa Cruz & Hoops

I went to Santa Cruz today to play basketball, but did manage to stop by the beach. It was such a great fall day, you could hear the waves crashing, and smell the salt air. I love this time of year, when all the tourists are gone and the weather is still good enough to hang out at the coast.

I also played some basketball and we had a good group, but only played for about an hour ad half, before everyone had to go. I had a chance to use my new shoes and they were worked well. They seemed stiff in the store, but playing loosened them up and I can tell they will be really good once they're broken in.
