Trying to reach a colleague by phone. But it's a long time ago, the 1970s, the phones are buzzing, and it's not for work, you're hoping he'll play basketball at the middle school. What's the expected ratio? - you're not sinking many. He kicks the ball over a tall fence into the park next door: is he angry, or teasing? Teasing: that's his sister on the other side. Black and white gym uniform, laughing with the other girls. She kicks the ball back: perfect, straight into your arms.
