quick notes

Hi all,
On our trip downtown today I ran into one of my old beach volleyball buddies, Suzy, at Derussy Beach and I found out that there's a "mini-reunion" this weekend of some of my old crew at the Hilton beach, so we'll go see who's there. I'm sure they have all aged gracefully.

Peace out,
Bill

Here they come to snuff the ROOSTER.

Hi Everybody,
I would just like to say that yesterday I had my chance to snuff the rooster and depose the "King of Manoa" at the same time! If you don't know my friend Marcus, let's just say that as an ex Jar-head, he can talk smack with the best of them. So, yesterday after we went to "mud fest 2008" aka the Punahou carnival, we went over to his place where he proceeded to claim to be the "King of Manoa" and strutted around like a rooster (all of this about his prowess at billiards.)
Heidi actually encouraged this behavior as she knows how annoyed i've been with the roosters around here.

So, in order to take my revenge on the roosters of the world, I decided to take on the King. Well, I won the first two games and graciously decided to give him an opportunity to play 3 out of 5. Well, since the humiliation was getting to him, I gave up the next two games and we were on for game 5, the "Rubber Match." After missing a couple of easy shots, I was behind in the game and Marcus was on the eight ball to win. I warned him after all his rooster strutting around that he better watch the scratch ball...well, cocky rooster that he is, he declined to observe the required patience and promply lost the match to me by sinking the eightball and the cueball at the same time...YES, the King and Rooster were snuffed on the same day! LOL.
Later, B.
