  I have a good friend who happens to be somewhat of an athlete.  If we were the spice girls, she would definitely be sporty spice.  I on the other hand, would not.  We have been going to the gym together for a few months, and she often makes comments about how she is going to help me get into the sporty scene. 

  I am not convinced.

  I have however taken up a sport that I actually really enjoy.  I just play it with my family on weekend afternoons, but that is more sports then I have ever played before.  (I was actually on a competitive dance team in high school, does that count?) When I told my dear friend about my new sporting activity at a baby shower, her punch nearly went through her nose.  “Bocce doesn’t count as a sport!” 

  Well, my dear friend, I beg to differ, here is a little excerpt I found on wikipedia:

  Bocce (or Bocci, or Boccie)^{[1][2][3][4][5]} is a precision sport belonging to the boules sport family, closely related to bowls and pétanque with a common ancestry from ancient games played in the Roman Empire.

  A precision SPORT!  So there!
