Joe’s phone had just broken that morning, so there was no way ...…

…snow now and then, but it was worth it to keep up with their obsession. On the days they couldn’t quite make it outside, they still found a way. “We had an indoor net in the basement,” Joe said. “I think our ceiling was about eight or nine feet, and every time they kicked, it would hit the ceiling tile.
