I played poker again tonight in the Poker Room at the Best Western in Keene. My initial thought was that I should buy 4,000 chips for $20 because I wanted to at least have as many chips as those at the table who had already done that; about two thirds of the players at my [...]

Tonight Target Practice played dodge ball against Corning, a team we had played twice in the past. They put the first point on the scoreboard decimating our team on the first round. Next, we took a point to tie it up 1-1. They went on to score three additional points to make the score 1-4. [...]

I was going through some old CDs today and I found these pictures from Paddlepower 2005. These are the images I used for the T-shirt transfer. I get a real kick out of the fake sponsors, the middle initials, and the stars. Paddle Power is a 36 mile paddle down the Connecticut River to raise [...]

Last night, my grandmother and I went to “C&S night” at the Peterborough Players. We followed some directions and initially got lost. I paid for access to VZ Navigator for the day and plugged in our destination. The GPS on my phone, of course, gave us better results than the handwritten directions we had!
We [...]

I haven’t been writing about Dodge Ball because we haven’t been particularly successful. I must write now because I am excited for the game we are playing tonight. While some teammates would probably disagree, I don’t personally care if we win or lose. I go there to have a good time, get some exercise, and [...]

Tonight, my dodge ball team, Target Practice, had another game at 7:15 against the Uniballers. All eight of our players were in attendance tonight, including Geoffrey, Darren, and Mukund who had been away the previous week. The competition seemed much less fierce (if competition in dodge ball can be fierce), which made me a little [...]

After a riveting game night and some alcohol on Saturday which lasted into 2AM Sunday morning, Holly and I woke at just after 7AM. The plan was to go to Church for the 10AM service; we thought that would give us plenty of time. We ended up leaving the house at 8 and getting some [...]

So tonight we had the dodge ball championships… if you can call them that. It was TONS of fun as always, but we played (I found out after) the #1 team in our league, Corning. They completely destroyed us, 0-7. At one point Geoffrey and I started working together. We successfully got 2 opponents out, [...]

Apparently the HORRIBLE Ball Dodgers Gone Bonkers team I’m on made the playoffs (all teams did). The first game (and undoubtedly the last) will be Monday December 15 at 6:40 against a team named Corning. I don’t remember playing them, it might have been one of the weeks I was out. I hope we do well, but as mentioned above, I [...]

Well, tonight was the very last game of dodgeball for the year. It cost $4.25 to play; good for the season of dodgeball and a team T-shirt. We were the Ball Dodgers Gone Bonkers, and let me tell you, some of the calls the referees made certainly drove me bonkers!
There was the time the ball [...]
