Dave Katz has been campaigning on the club's behalf since before this began. Rest assured that the more activist members of the club continue to press our our perspective with the city and our intended compliance with restrictions. We are all eager to return to those halcyon days of yore, but not before some reasonable risk of infection is obtained. I for one would be happy to risk a game or two, but I am wary of bringing the virus home to Sheila. To risk yourself is one thing. To put others at risk—is reckless and irresponsible. Unfortunately that seems to be the de facto response to much of the self centered portions of our population. And it's nothing new. Think of all the parents who refuse to vaccinate their children. We have an effective vaccination against the flu and a third of the country still does not get vaccinated against that. Who thinks that's a good idea? I wouldn't mind if they only risked themselves. Their demise would probably raise the average level of the country's intellectual capacity and make the world safer for petanque. And that would be a very good thing.
But I digress. Let me get down off this soap box before I fall off—or get pushed.
Maybe it's just a matter of bad timing, but once again, the courts look like the day after the rapture and all petanque players are lifted to heaven.

I wouldn't mind any of that stuff if they just served a small glass of wine while I wait. Something light, fruity but with a little bite.
