You can call me firecracker

Tennis anyone?

The third annual Mixed Drinks, Mixed Doubles Mixer was a huge success. While the tournament itself fell apart after the first round and I'm pretty sure that there was no winner, everyone had fun, got drunk and hit some balls. As the reining champs, Kagan and I had a lot to live up to this year. We of course failed misserably to live up to those expectations and lost our first two matches. We redeemed ourselves slightly by winning the third match. This late victory, of course made no difference since the tournament had devolved into a drunken free for all.

Gail, Simone and Heidi made up a great new game called Bomabardment. Physically more challenging then tennis the way we play it, the point of the game is to hit as many balls to the other side of the court as fast as possible. If all the balls are on the opponents side, you are awarded a point. Extra points are awarded if you hit a ball over the fence (a "home run"). This game is best played with at least three balls and at least four people. It is also extremely entertaining after a few cocktails.

Thank you to Ewen for bringing the tennis fun. Next event- The Back Nine Golf Tourney.
Kickball update: Science for the People- 3, Shitkickers- 23. One of those points is mine in the ninth. Go me. You can call me firecracker.
