Trivia at the Tavern

Weak Sauce was full of Bill's family this week.  Brother Bob and Pretty Deanna (as she makes us call her) were visiting from Seattle but all the kids came too - Bret and Zoe, Joey and Allie and even our new neighbors - Alix and Sean.  Alix is Bill's niece.  She and her boyfriend just moved to Newburyport last week.

Bill fired up the acting challenges - - here I am telling Deanna that Bob smells.

We were given no acting instruction for this panorama - - which explains why we all look clueless. 

This isn't a great picture but it's representative of Deanna - mouth open, probably singing, flailing her hands.  Yup, that's her!

Oh look - here we are actually quizzing!!

And now we are voguing.
