Good go get a win in your first appearance for sure. The intermittent nips of Grandpa Goat's medicine and Mexican madness juice probably contributed to a bit of dodgy play for all of us, but hell, if a guy can't enjoy bacon flavoured whiskey from a hip flask while in the company of good friends over a few dart games, then thou name doth never be Blue Bull! Craig and I fell victims of our own cricket playing egos in thinking that we could never hit as many triple 1's, 3's, 7's again in the third leg of medley as we did in the first. Hate to be proven wrong in that situation...Ah well, back to the practice board for now. I'll find out if Youb and Saku are able to play next Monday and let you guys know ASAP. I'll be out in Chung Ju with the in-laws ringing in the new year! It was nice to get rolling with a win indeed. Good go get a win in your first appearance for sure.

Whoa there America– take a deep breath. As impressed as we all are with the significance of this moment — we are about to inaugurate the first African American President of the United States — it is possible that our collective giddiness will lead to the worst kind of disappointment. President-elect Barack Obama is being breathlessly compared to FDR, JFK, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. So far — he has won an election.

Even Obama is hyperventilating. In Sunday’s speech, he said “I stand here today as hopeful as ever that the United States will endure.” Endure? Did he think the country might actually go out of business? Merge with France? Sell out to Wal-Mart? That we might decide that Citigroup was too frail, Iraq too complex and our waistlines too bulging to carry on? What did he mean?
