Trivia Tuesday


Look who joined us for Trivia!  Pete and Denise added value instantly ensuring that we were out of the gate strong.  As we went into the picture round we were tied for first place (with about a dozen other teams since that was early in the game).
Our youngest quizzer was Henry.  While Pete and Denise provided answers, Bill started a game of triangle football.  It was fun to watch Henry's face as his little paper football when flying across the tavern.   Clearly this was not a game he was used to playing in public but with a little encouragement from Bill he quickly adapted.  When I turned in my seat I saw that the young boy at the table next to us was eagerly folding himself a football.
No Joey, Allie, D-Train or Christin this week.  And in the end Weak Sauce wound up in the middle of the pack.  But Henry's team is headed to the Superbowl.
