I blog about your blog!

Okay, now this is just getting silly.  Trivia night has come and gone again, and our team was triumphant.  Cas and I have been to the Addison Ice House for six consecutive weeks, and we have been on the first place team four times.  We came in third once, and our trivia debut was a respectable eighth place, given that the two of us had only one teammate, and she left early. 

In defiance of today's US World Cup soccer loss to the Belgian team, we dubbed ourselves Belgium never won a Super Bowl.  I swear, we spend more time coming up with team names than answering any actual questions in the match.  It was a good group again.  Jerone was home with his son this evening, but his friend Carl was there.  Lady-geniuses Susan and Laura were in attendance, and I was there with Cas, as has been our standard arrangement since we started down this road of recalling minutiae together.  The quiz-master brought one of our rival teams over to orchestrate some kind of faux-confrontation after the match was finished, but I wound up chatting with the team's token lady.  She is a teacher.  So is one of the other folks on the team.  Teachers.  Go figure. 

Quiz-master Brett was in rare form this evening.  I am pretty sure he had been celebrating (or mourning) the soccer match earlier in the day, and he was having a few pronunciation issues with some of the questions.  We're mostly teachers on my team, though, and we get that it's sometimes hard to read out loud to the whole class.  He writes a blog about the game each Wednesday, and he asked last week if I read his blog.  I said, "Yes, I blog about your blog."  That wasn't true- until now.  Just to keep me honest, here is a link: http://www.geekswhodrink.com/1047/  He's a pretty clever writer.  There, Brett- I blogged about your blog. 

Anyhow, I am beat.  I have to hit the hay so I can wake up and mow the grass again tomorrow.  It grew so fast.  I guess that's what happens when it rains like crazy for half of June.  Next week's trivia team will be Cas-free, as he will be in Ireland.  The week after that, I will be in Boston.  I am sure the Addison Ice House will carry on and the republic will still stand. 

I will have to steal a photo of our team later from Brett's blog.  The one we had taken was awash in blurs and refracted light.  But if you're interested in trying to analyze the inner workings of my brain, this is what it looks like when I keep score.  (and probably why I don't usually keep score...)

Next day update--
Okay, here is the photo I stole from Quiz-master Brett (thanks, Brett!):
