Days of Petanque: Gimme five

Date: January 26, 2020 at 6:34:27 PM PST

I mistakenly reported that several men were playing petanque at the park yesterday.
After consultations today I can verify that they were instead:
a. stuck in traffic
b. shopping for groceries
c. looking for a proper gift for:
1. their anniversary
2. her birthday
3. their daughter's graduation
4 his boss':
A. Wife
B. Girlfriend
C. Misstress
d. at their son's school play
e. filling the car with gas (there was such a line you wouldn't believe)
f. signing petitions in front of Sonoma Market
g. picking up beer bottles at the park for recycling 

I apologize for any inconvenience my error may have caused and please don't make him sleep on the couch again tonight.


Another balmy day at Depot Park in Sonoma as the Club v Club You Only Live Once So You Might As Well Play Petanque Tournament gets underway. Here Michelle lobs a boule straight and true as only one pure of heart, keen of mind and taking advantage of everyone else looking at the camera can do.

I hate to admit it but Ed "The Punisher" Porto gave me a shellacking on our closer than I deserved Winter Singles Match. I commented that  the only reason I wasn't winning was I needed more expensive boules. Dave Lanter quite rudely pointed out that I was already using the most expensive ones available. Thanks for nothing Dave.

Earlier I played one-on-one against Peter Mathis. He gave me four boules to his three. For the record he did not fanny me. Never mind what the actual score was. To the best of my recollection, I don't recall.

Maggie's back. If you see her lucky hat, let her know.
