Tales from the sauna

I’m sitting there, guy comes in all togged out for handball.  I think, so? he does the sauna that way.  Doesn’t shower, as the sign on the “Y” wall says.  I have it wrong.  He drops his ball on the grate, comes back, gets it later. I take notice, he says it warms the ball up, makes it livelier.

That was a few days ago.  Today another guy comes in naked but with a bulky gym bag.  He begins to put his handball clothes on, I get it, say, Headin’ for the courts?  Yep, he changes here to get warmed up, he explains.

Makes sense.  Sauna warms up ball and player.  On with the games!
