…you would brag too if it happened to you.
Or maybe not, but I’m paying the rent around here so I’ll post what I want!
I guess all I really wanted to say is I had an outstanding day of darts yesterday. Played two Seoul Sunday Singles League matches and took them both. In the first match I played Sungbae Choi, the top rated player in the league, and came away with a 12-7 victory. It took my best darts to beat him and I had them–including two 9-marks (3 darts in a triple score in one throw–that’s as good as it gets in darts). I won the second match 14-5, but in less impressive fashion as I had been drinking throwing for several hours by that point and I was drunk tired.
Have I turned a corner? Well, I have my confidence back at least. Hard experience has taught me that the only consistent part of my game is my inconsistency. So I won’t let one good day go to my head. Other than this post.

You know the Chinese story about the poor old man and the horse? If not, ask Jee-yeun about the Korean proverb “sae ong ji ma.”
Alright Kevin, I know you take a dim view of expats who rely on their spouses to navigate the intricacies of Korean culture. I didn’t do that. She’s taking a nap anyway. Thank God for Google! You might be pleased to learn that the second and third results of said Googling expedition were from your old “Kevin’s Walk” blog. One of those had a link to a nice telling of the sae ong ji ma tale.
It was a good read and made me think of the Christian “this too shall pass” entreaty. And now every time I’m maneuvering on those dicey stairs at Dolce Vita I’ll be considering the possible blessing of two broken legs. Thanks for that!
