Fall '23 | Week 8 Recap

OK. I forfeited last week’s recap but, thanks to your commitment to sportsmanship, I am bowling a makeup game right NOW! Much like teams: Closing Time and Barsenic who agreed to play make up games rather than just take the automatic W. (Oooo check those segue-skills AMIRIGHT?) The gods looked down favorably on this display of sportsmanship as both squads earned their respective “W” – which counts the same, but feels a bit sweeter.

Now…I was at home Thursday so I didn’t see the makeup games. But Jen did. And she recounted for me, the harrowing tale, like the bards of old. “The lady of the lake, her arms clad in the purest shimmering samite, rose from tussled turf to nudge Derek’s seemingly errant throw just as it passed the opponents ball stopping in perfect position, signifiying by divine providence that Derek was the new bocce king!”

Then Will shouted, “Well I didn’t vote for you!” And everyone laughed.

Hey did you hear they are releasing Monty Python And the Holy Grail in theaters again? I’m excited. Get your Cow-tapult ready!

Where was I…ah yes, by all accounts, it was a truly magical shot. So the lesson is come on bocce night (and also makeup bocce night) cuz you never know what you’re gonna see and also, COCKTAILS!

But I am getting ahead of myself, you see I’ve completely ignored the fiercly fought competition of the night before. Most matches were extremely close. Nearly every games was decided by 3 points or less! You may think I tried to mess you all up by moving the court to the other side, but it seemed to actually bring momentary parity to the league.

That and, everyone seems to be getting good just in time for the season to end! Almost everyone – better luck next season Will.
