Bocce report — week 1 April 29th, 2009
An abbreviated”Jersey’s Finest” team consisting of Keith and myself w/Brigid as our lone cheerleader lost a hard fought bocce match last night in the 1st official game of the season. We were up against a seasoned 8 person team named “Off in the Shower”(w/clever beer cozies claiming that they cannot be beaten…). After a large points deficit in the first 3 rounds we came back to briefly carry the lead. Our lead was eventually eroded and we ended up losing 10 to 16. There was some ethically questionable score accounting taking place but we determined that since we had not played in a year and we were thoroughly out gunned it did not make sense to put up a big stink, that and it is only a rec/drinking bocce league so no reason to be “that guy”. The photo above is of Summer, our friends’ beautiful french bulldog, at our crab feast triathlon fundraiser last year in Rock Creek Park — the last time we had honed our bocce skills. We will try again next week, by the end of the season Jersey’s Finest will be a well oiled bocce machine.
Oh, and one other thing: LETS GO CAPS!!!
