Like chess, petanque is a game of strategy. Sure it's the shooting and pointing that get all the attention and glory, but once some basic skills are mastered, it becomes a thinking game as much as a power and coordination.
I don't think much, ergo, I'm not much of a player without someone to tell me what to do. Lucky for me I take direction pretty well. Most of the time. When I'm in the mood. When I like the person telling me what to do. When I'm not stressed or distracted. Except on Monday through Fridays and weekends. But other than that, you can depend on me.

Save a few for Lefty too
He only did what he had to do
And now he's growin' old
