Peaks and valleys

Saturday night was the nadir of my darting life (I hope).  Fresh off that humiliating and crushing defeat I played well enough last night to take home second place money at a little in-house tournament hosted by Dillinger’s Bar.  An aberration or a harbinger of things to come?  Time will tell.

The spectators for last night's action pretty diverse.  Or diverse and pretty.  Or both.  That's Midori and Jee Yeun representing Korea, Eve from the Philippines, and Natasha from Russia.

I also noticed that President Park has been doing some politicking along the trail.  As I interpret this sign, it means "to move forward towards a bright future, vote conservative!"

Got home and Jee Yeun fixed me up a platter of fresh-from-the-butcher samgyapsal.  Life is good.
