Totally Unauthorized

Yes, I stole that line from Winston Churchill–may as well steal from the best.

We started a new KO this afternoon.  Won the first session, but in the second we were down 34 imps at the half.  Not being willing to quit, we soldiered on, and the opponents made a couple of errors, we did the wrong thing at the right time, and we won the second half by 35, advancing to the semis by 1 imp.  Never give up.  However many imps you lost you can gain just as well.

After the game we headed out for a celebratory drink.  TGIFridays was too crowded and smokey, the next 3 places we tried were closed.  This is a family town in the bible belt–they roll up the sidewalks at 10 pm.  Micky gave up, bought an ice cream and headed off to bed.

The rest of us kept at it, and found an open bar.  Beer delivered to the table was $4.00.  Beer at the bar was 99 cents.  Danny was buying.  $4.95 bought a round.

Nothing to report about dinner tonight.  Mike and I were out the second half this afternoon, so I went back to the house.  Immediately after the other guys finished their boards, they wanted to go out to dinner.  This was at 4:00 pm.  It is my unbending opinion that children eat with the nanny at that time, not adults.  So the boys went without me.  There isn’t any really good food here in the first place, why eat in the middle of the day?

Danny, who will make someone a fine Jewish grandmother some day, offered to make me tuna salad for dinner.  So I had a sandwich and a slice of Boston Cream pie.  It was great.

We start a new KO in the morning, and then the semis of the day time KO at 1:00.  I better get some sleep.
