We made it through the stifling holiday weekend without any major incidents. If you stayed up until July 5 for the fireworks on The Mall, good for you. If you were kept up by the neighborhood tradition of fireworks until the wee hours of the morning, I hope you’re able to catch up on some sleep.

Hope to see everyone tomorrow.

Bridgett had a 24 point hand, Nancy won 5 games and Laurie asked to be recognized for losing 5 games.

In an effort to continuously improve the DC Cribbage experience, we’ve made some modifications to the boards. All sanctioned boards now have skunks applied to show the skunk and double skunk lines. Unfortunately they are NOT scratch and sniff, so PLEASE, PLEASE stop trying.

If anyone has suggestions or an app or anything let me know.

I want everyone to know I love potatoes in all forms, we don’t need a contest, they are all winners. Sorry John, I say this with love.

I’ve been listening to a lot of baseball as of late, and I’ve been inspired to try to start talking like a baseball announcer and interspersing ads.

“This run for 3 is sponsored by Taco Bell’s 3 for $3 deal.”

Bob Uecker

I don’t remember what prompted it, but there was a discussion about sending cards to people and so I present DC Cribbage’s first volunteer sponsor.*

“This shuffle of the cards is brought to you by Archelaus Cards, need cards? Combining style with substance, beauty with wit, brains with cream sauce, the Archelaus touch is unmistakeable!”

*Note: Archelaus didn’t actually pay for any sponsorship, I just like their cards.

There was, what I believe is the second most points you can get on a single play in a pegging round, 24 for 12. 24 for 12 pegging hand

A small group stuck around for trivia. Trivia Team Name 15 4 2

Don’t forget to file your taxes by April 15 and contrary to any rumors you may have heard, you may NOT write off beer and food purchases at Trusty’s as charitable donations. Though now that I think about maybe I should setup a 501(c)…….
