Risk weekend

2006-04-25 22:02:17 • by Brian Verkley
Last weekend I went up to the Kendall cottage near Haliburton to open it up and toss my hat in the ring for the Risk championship.  I'm not sure what information i should make public, and what i should leave to mystery and long tales.

I was not the Risk Champ.  I was put out just narrowly missing the final board.  Good times though, and I'd try again next time.  Andrew Kendall took home the belt.  Lucky .

There was a keg.  It died early early Saturday.  I had backup beer, thankfully.  I think I'll let you all imagine what a guy could do with all that beer.  

I should add a special thank-you to the cooks.  We had AMAZING food all weekend.  I was expecting a lot of chips and hotdogs.  Instead we ate smoked chicken and pulled pork.  Unbelievable.

I lost some money at poker, and some pride at Rummoli, but apart from that i had an amazing time all weekend long.

The Kendall's do it up right.

I should start a blog - and you should all come visit it - Apparently Brian no longer has an interesting life. Or he just doesn't want to share it with us *sniff sniff - cries

Cut him some slack...  I Am sure he has done absolutly nothing since Apr. 25th.   I am sure he will add a blog for the reunion that is coming up!

yes, you should start a blog.  i'd read it. and even comment from time to time.

I should write more, it is true, but i don't want to make boring posts.  i don't intend to write "i watched edmonton win in triple over time. it was good".  i mean, really, if you cared about the oilers fate, you'd already know.  and very few should care that i stayed up until 2:47am watching that game.  

anyway, i'm glad you enjoy, i'll post when i can, and let me know your blog url.
