My apartment has a key pad entry system. Tonight it made the tell-tale sound that means it’s time to change the batteries. Having had the misfortune of being locked out when the batteries failed in the past, I keep a supply of trusty AA’s on hand.

So, I replace the batteries but now the keypad is not working at all. At least I’m inside my apartment, but if I leave I won’t be able get back in. So, I am effectively a prisoner in my own home. At least until my landlord gets here in two hours. Nothing urgent tonight fortunately. Wasn’t even sure I was going to go out at all. But now knowing that I CAN’T I have the urge…

I will survive, but life is just a pain in the ass sometimes, isn’t it?

Well, the regular season anyway. Playoffs start next week.

Last night we played at 3 Alley Pub against the Cunning Linguists and we were able to take the match 15-4 and finish our season undefeated. Tip of the hat to the CL team though, great sports who keep in mind the bottom line is to have fun. After the match shots were exchanged (the good kind) and they wished us luck in our playoff run.

We are going to need it. Our number two player Cuatro is going to be unavailable because of some soldiering conflict. We picked up Lonnie from the other Dolce team to give us the required four players, but we will all need to pick up our games in what is going to be a very competitive playoff.

I finally broke out of my personal slump and threw some decent games last night. I was on fire in my singles Cricket leg, and threw solid in ‘01. 6-0 for the night and I am pretty sure that will lock up the third place ranking I’ve been vying for. My goal this season was a top ten finish so I’m actually very pleased. It’s also cool that my teammates Duke and Cuatro are ranked 1-2.

A highlight of the evening was meeting Neil. He introduced himself as a reader of this blog and said his favorite post was about my falling down and cracking open my head. Yeah, that was pretty funny wasn’t it? He also knows the guy I saw fall out of the cab. Anyway, we were chatting between throws in my singles games so I didn’t get much chance to find out more about him, but it was nice to meet someone who has stomach to follow my exploits here on LTG. Of course, meeting a reader also makes me feel guilty about not keeping the content fresh and interesting, but who knows maybe something extraordinary is just around the corner.

Anyway, cheers Neil. Next time you are in Dolce I will buy you a drink.
