New Year, New Play

We have all waited for some warm weather. How about playing tomorrow (Sunday 4/4) at 10 am at the rail yard. I have some left over birthday cake from Whole Foods for after. Or perhaps some croissants.

It is getting too cold

We have some new players, but it is getting towards the end of the year. Days are shorter, and it takes a while for the day to warm up. Rad, Sandy and Melissa have come several times, and others seem interested. I am sure there will be pick up games on some warm afternoons.

Railyard on Sunday, 10 am

Arsène Dupin and his artist friends had a couple of hours to kill last week between performances at the Texas Renaissance Festival. So they played 3 hours of pétanque and then showed off their juggling skills. Among othersClan Tynker and Flourish & Fool.

Can we have a ’shoot out’ like this? Practice Practice

A shooting competition in 2000 between Claudy Weibel (in the blue shirt) and Philippe Quintais (considered one of the top 3 players in the world). This was a side event at a tournament, where players must perform intricate individual shots, at increasing distances. Call it “Ringers on your own”. Look at the slow motion replays.

We are settling into playing Sundays at 10 and Fridays at 11. Cold weather may end the season soon. It is still great fun. Rad Acton is a welcome new player, and others are showing up too.
