~The gloriou...Fond (and not so fond) remembrances:<br /><br />~The glorious night round with Brun as my partner. Both of us being prone to apology, we made a rule early on that if either of us threw a "sorry" at the other, the apologist would have to do a shot of whiskey. Needless to say, it was a miracle we were only slurring and stumbling at the end. I will say, though, that anyone who was there at the picnic table after the round had to be impressed by both our final score (second place by a shot), and my ability to explain and legitimate our scorecard through the cacophonic haze of catcalls and my own buzz.<br /><br />~Many epic dice games. Somehow I won a few of them. One regret: not joining in on at least one poker game. My poker face would have been impossible for anyone, including me, to decipher.<br /><br />~Giving that lodge a new nickname: the smokehouse.<br /><br />~The sound of David at 3:30am, as everyone but he was trying to go to sleep.<br /><br />~The sound of David at 8am, when everyone but he was trying to remain asleep. Shudder.<br /><br />~My afternoon round. My first hole, hole 4, I managed to double bogie. Left my up shot short, went for the par putt and floated it over the top and all the way down the hill. Tough start. But am I one to bend to the vagaries of disc golf disaster?? HARDLY! I went on to birdie the next two holes (including the pond hole), and then 8, 10, and 11, parring everything in between, to move to 3 under through my first 8 holes! Made a tough par on the ticklish 12th, chained out a birdie attempt on 13, and deemed myself in perfect position to take down the wooden destroyer trophy! And then came 14. My drive was short, my upshot not bad but right, but leaving me an awkward steeply downhill putt. It was only 18 feet at most, but had a tree trunk lurching into view from upper left to lower right, and a nightmarish result if the putt missed. I gave it a brave effort, but the trunk just nicked the putt, and my disc touched chain and headed downhill, stopping just out of range of a makable bogie putt. I gave it a valiant effort, but then disaster struck. The missed bogie putt hit basket, and then got sideways, and plummeted into the abyss below. And just like that, a likely par transformed itself into a seven, and my wooden destroyer dreams were crushed like David's Sunday morning digestive stability. <br /><br />A thousand thanks to the crooked CTDs, who finagled themselves into the winner's circle in two of the three contests, and no-doubt split all the money and glory between themselves. They are cons of the top order, right up there with Newman and Redford, even more so because the took care of us and entertained us while their hands were in our pockets! Who but they could have pulled off this feat?? Three cheers for the CTDs! <br /><br />Who's next???<br /><br />-J<br /><br />p.s.

I had such a good time, had one of my best disc rounds ever (not in the tourney of course!) and felt really spoiled to have a special tourney named after me, without even having to die. I feel like basically the whole club was there- with Jim driving straight from the airport, and the brodys from Bumblef**k oregon. We didn't even get yelled at Sat night!?! Anyway I think I have finally recovered and can now just bask in the memories of good friends and good times in the rain, while I sip tropical drinks and bask in the warm nicaraguan sunshine.

Thanks for the thoughtful write ...Frolfy Frolfers,<br /><br />Thanks for the thoughtful write up, Bread. I reiterate the thoughtful sentiments regarding Parky Darker Weather. Parky McParkerson, thanks for everything you have done for the MFC/MCFC/MCDGC. Frolfers (including myself) around the world admire you for deepening the sport and making it fun for EVERYONE no matter what their skill level is. It won't be the same with out you. I hope to come to an NFC (Nicaragua Frolf Club) event, weekly, or tourney sometime. <br /><br />I had a blast at the tournament and I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. It was like a different world and it has been hard to adapt and get back into my work life but such is life. <br /><br />Lost items: Rye Bread, I think I have your coffee mug. Arvin, I have your dice. James, I have your basket.<br /><br />PS Who is doing the next special tournament? Nate Dog with his family values idea? Hemmies with his safari headlands idea? <br /><br />DaveyDDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14205384044636086544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836559924064805474.post-30111943255876327042010-12-07T13:43:11.321-08:002010-12-07T13:43:11.321-08:00if someone can post a picture of David that would ...if someone can post a picture of David that would be great.
