I've never committed these words to paper, afraid to see the evidence of my insanity before me. But it cannot be denied. Though I know not what events guide this anomaly, I know that this confluence will last but a short time.

This may very well be my final entry. Tomorrow I travel to Rocky Mountain Park and will see with my own eyes that which cannot be Unseen.

Played croquet. The Destructor has taken the form of a young man in his twenties. Out of one of his 5 terrible mouths he spoke in a language that sounded like children screaming, and began his awful work that ended the Earth.

Then there was the poison battle- which pitted sibling against sibling, brother against brother, sister against brother - and like so many times this season a Boyd won, only this was the first born...Chris.
Also, Dave admonished me for last weeks blog in which I mentioned Mikey as the only one in contention for 2nd place. I was wrong. There are more than 7 people, including Mikey who have a chance. Bless you Dave for seeing the error of my ways, bless you.


Highlights!
-Chris Boyd's ball acting as a shield and protecting Dave's ball from being killed by AJ's poison ball. No, Chris wasn't in their game. Here is a diagram:

Chris= Blue, AJ = Yellow, Dave = Green
Here's how it went down:
1). Dave's ball sits by itself at the bottom of the hill.

2). Chris Boyd's ball comes to rest right next to Dave's ball.

3). AJ aiming for Dave's ball, and would've hit Dave's ball had Boyd's ball not been there.


- The Wicket from hell, on the course I set up. Poor Stephanie and Carly were stuck on it nearly the whole game. I do apologize, but you guys have been playing for a few years now and besides it wasn't nearly as hard as:

-Dave's course - for advanced players only. This course was so hard that Jody just had to go tell Mikey Lyons how hard it really was, Mikey agreed that it did indeed look like a very difficult course, they then retired to the conservatory for tea and to discuss the ramifications of the protectionist tariff of 1832.

We have 3 games left y'all. Which means that the Hallack winner will be the last one to call a park, then on 9/22/09 at Wolf Park we will have our final game and immediately following we'll jump on each others shoulders, after a night of drinking heavily, in order to ram our bodies into others who are hoisting people on their shoulders.

Tuesday the 8th of September - Hallack Park, 20th and Irving.

Move like you got a purpose people.
