Jeff Billimek’s Journal

Today for lunch we played horseshoes at Casey’s.

The players:

Casey

Scott

Alex

James

Brian

And of course me.

The competition was intense. The teams were: Casey/Brian, James/Scott, and Me/Alex. The first match was Casey/Brian vs. James/Scott. It was a slaughter. James and Scott didn’t have a chance. The second game was Me and Alex vs. Casey and Brian. After a slow start, we were one point away with a score of 2-10. But Alex and I had a second wind and came back to win every consecutive round, finishing the game with a ringer thrown by me. The final score: 12-10. Casey and Brian were speechless.

Everyone gaping in awe at the stunning victory by Alex and I

The next game was James & Scott vs. me and Alex. It was a close match but the fates were against us and we lost 10-11. The next match was James & Scott vs. Casey and Brian. This proved to be an easy win again for Casey and Brian.

Half-way through that match, the FedEx guy showed up with Casey’s new digital camera. Play was suspended while Casey signed for the camera (and of course opened the box).

The final match was Casey & Brian vs. Alex and me. It was an intense game. Early on Alex and I both threw ringers in the same round. Casey and Brian were preparing for a quick end, but then Alex and I had trouble maintaining our winning streak. We lost the match 8-11.
