I'll tell ya, Adam, it was a sight to see over at Team A (aka "The ex-chairs"),
I knew a bunch of answers, but Peter was ON that paddle! He was also quite
smooth about jumping as soon as he knew the answer, and very few of them
tailed away and nicked the outside corner....

I think by that time the scores were so heavily negative that no one wanted to
take a flyewr on a 104/2048 question, unless they KNEW the answer. We were all
several lengths back, and it was a long way to go for a first down.

I did! Unfortunately the index finger didn't hit the button fast enough. 
Mr.Thompson, over on Team C, was a lot faster (and not a C++ programmer,
which matters not at all). I think there was one thing I didn't know, but
I think the Team A story was that we just weren't fast enough on the paddle.
It's hard when both of us have been worn down by our KLUG leadership duties
in past years, you know.... the pasture and rocking chair is starting to look 
good now, as we reach our sunset years...

>Peter rocks!!!
You know, he had it all last night, the quick snap to the running backs, the
good energy on the court, a blazing trigger finger backed up with the right 
answers, and a great team in the pits for him. Yes, and a good man in goal,
too. You know, it was very good cricket, he had great innings, and I'm sure
this will increase his value on the GJ free-agent market next year, too.
Yes, that's where it's at, you know, the name of the game....
