Paintball Memories

A picture that was taken just after a game of paintball last Saturday. This is me going for "The Terminator" look. I've heard that combative sports can do this to people.

There were roughly 20 of us peoples from IBEX that spent our Shabbot afternoon dabbling in the world of paintball - Israeli style! Our bus driver Beni even joined us in the fray, which was really something.

It was a day of new frontiers for some of us. Heather "Smiley" Zorichak stepped out onto a paintball course for the very first time. She was a little nervous but fortunately the mask did the smiling for her. As always, her enthusiasm rose to the occasion.

Brittany, on the other hand, showed us her expertise in paintball. I would hate to be on the team facing her. She gave a fine and sportly demonstration of her weathered roots in the game.

Much fun was had by all on our side. We didn't realize how well we were discouraging the opposition until they turned on their captain, Bill. I can't be certain, but I doubt that a strategy of this kind will ever succeed.

The final roundup of our team before we left. Back row: Chris, Ryan M, Me (a name I call myself), Chad, and Tad. Front row: Heather "Smiley", Brittany "B Good", Ryan H, and Nate "Der Boone Goon". Foreground: Todd, our team captain (and level-headed professor, make no mistakes).
