<p>I’m sure we’ll acclimate quickly after we pick out new drapes and hang some photos.</p>

<h3 id="joy">Joy</h3>

<p>DC Cribbage is all about the people that show up, and <em>you</em> showed up in force. We counted 24 people, the largest turnout ever. We also had some visitors from Jersey, not the home of Jersey Mike’s, the OG <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey">Jersey.</a> Thank you all!</p>

<p>To add to the joy is the announcement of our new home,  <a href="https://trustysdc.com">Trusty’s</a>, another local neighborhood establishment. We’ll play on the patio; don’t worry, it’s covered and heated. If you’re unfamiliar with Trusty’s, the patio is upstairs; the stairs are just past the front door on the right. Also, cheesesteaks, mmmmm, cheesesteaks.</p>

<h3 id="pain">Pain</h3>
<p>February 24th will be our last session at Duffy’s. Duffy’s has been a consummate host, keeping us filled up with wings and various other fried delicacies, pretzels 🧑‍🍳 👌💋 and making sure we were never dehydrated.</p>

<p>A special thanks to Belen, who led the effort to establish “The Board,” which gave people bragging rights for the week. Thank you!</p>

<p>Steve and Tom, who let me set up shop, it’s much appreciated.</p>

<p>Duffy’s has been an amazing host and will be sorely missed. Thank you again.</p>

<p>It is with a heavy heart 💔 that I share the news that Duffy’s will be shutting down at the end of the month. DC Cribbage will continue, and the executive board is diligently working to find a new venue. If you have any suggestions, please pass them along to <a href="dan@dcdan.com">DC Dan</a>.</p>

<p>As per the discussion:</p>

<p>A book with a very long title was discussed. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Morning-Glory-Milking-Cambric-Creek-ebook/dp/B09BNYYRK7">Morning Glory Milking Farm: a Monster Bait Romance (Cambric Creek: Sweet &amp; Steamy Monster Romance Book 1)</a> by C.M.
