One of our friends and former students came back to town:

Dominick and I had lunch at the new pizza joint. We spent the afternoon catching up and telling tales out of … well … school. He’s been gone for a year, studying out west and doing great things in the universe.
I beat him, once again, at foosball in a not too demanding best-of-seven series. The last three series have gone to, well, me.
Not that I’d remember something that happened a year ago:
Today I won four games to two.
For me, the game of foosball may never be the same again. pic.twitter.com/Lx51mkT3lB

Goaaal! The streak…is…ovah!
After eight days of close calls and futility on the foosball table, I've finally beaten @Domino_Jean again. pic.twitter.com/st4sCG22eh

I have been bested after 8 days of foosball stardom and non-stop victory by @kennysmith. I will now retreat for a year-long hiatus to train and pray for my eventual return to glory.

Speaking of remembering, if you’ll recall last Friday I mentioned a flower that’s flowering in the backyard. It has now reached its potential and it’s lovely:

One day I might too!
