RED v. BLUE – 5-0 Good Guys
Week one of the RI Squash season pitted us against the other RICC B team. Despite valiant efforts at the RI Squash Board meetings to place clubs with multiple teams in the same league in different divisions, the Board voted to set up the league in a geographically “friendly” manner. Apparently the State of Rhode Island is now so expansive, due to global warming I suppose, that it shocks the conscious to suggest a squash player would tolerate a 40 minute drive. You can get from anywhere in RI to anywhere in RI in 40 minutes. I digress!
The result of the RED v. BLUE match was predictable. RED squeaked out a 5-0 victory. It should be noted that Ted BLUE gifted a win to Jenks due to a hamstring injury suffered in his attempt to run the Newport Marathon. A tough week for Ted Blue as he only made it approximately 3 out of the anticipated 26 miles before packing it in. As an aside, Z-Bride ran the ½ marathon on the same day in what was a true Nor’easter.
The Blue Capt. was a bit confused coming into the match. Clearly he hadn’t utilized the Jenkinese Rosetta Stone VOL I to decipher the “Encrypted” line-up. Much bitching by the Blue Capt. over nothing – (“Who’s Former? Is he a new guy? I’m just looking to see who we’re playing and I get a list of names I’ve never seen before. What’s going on here?”) Captain Blue also brings to light that Jenks sister was HOT when he knew her in high school. Very good intel!
FOOD, SPIRITS, $, PROMISES and PONTIFICATING
It was a tough decision but we chose Billy’s over Chiasa this week. We did get some great service due to the owner sitting at our table. Most notably, Hadlean ordered up the BROKE BACK BURGER, Jenks bailed before the bill came and Nina had a $0 balance on her debit card. Ironically, Jenks share of the bill went to Nina instead of mine. Is Jenks the new Nina? Jenks, Don’t forget to pay her back!
The beer must have been a tad more potent because DOBY AGREED TO BE CAPTAIN NEXT YEAR! A night to remember!
Hadlean indicated that Sexual Self-fulfillment was a better cure for a headache than Advil.
Jenks, true to form and as expected, had the perfunctory BURP! NICE! and came close to wearing Tennis Browns. Smartly, Jenks scheduled a Box League match knowing Ted Blue was injured.
All in all, a great start to the season. A very fun gathering – until Jenks left – and then it became a little uncomfortable.
