When I was back at Wellesley, I had a network of friends through the ultimate frisbee community. I was particularly close with a group of very athletic, hilarious, wonderful people who were also all friends with each other and attended Dartmouth, Cornell, and Wellesley. One of them created a team called "M.U.T." which stands for "Mike's Ultimate Team" and used it as a way for us to see each other every once in a while and get together to play some ridiculously fun but high-quality ultimate. The last time we played together was the Summer of 2008, when we met up in upstate New York for a tournament called "Ow My Knee". We hadn't seen each other in months, we never practiced together, and we didn't care if we won or not. But we ended up beating all the other club teams to win the tournament!
However, we hadn't played all together in 2 years, and many of us hadn't seen each other in months. One of us lives in Colorado, one of us works in Wisconsin, a few of us are in Boston, a few of us in DC, one of us in Philadelphia...and it was about time for another reunion. So, this past weekend, we all got together at Mike's house and played in the local PADA Mosh tournament!
We didn't win the tournament like we did last time, but we sure had a wonderful time. It always feels like home when I see old friends again :)
