FREE RANGE PETANQUE........

A dark and moist evening kicked off the new season of Wednesday Night Petanque in McCarren Park. For some reason the Stadium lights were off, and only the warm glow of the path lights lit our way. Yet resourceful and up for a terrain challenge, as petanque players are, we found a spot on one of the Baseball diamonds and played comfortably on in to the night. Much to our delight, Ernesto, Hugh and Hakim from La Boule New Yorkaise Tunneled their way over from Manhattan. So Bruce, Bruce and our good friend Ricard enjoyed an odd numbered game of three against two, as Ricard cheered on from the Batters Bench. As the night wore on a fine mist of rain encouraged the sand to cling to our boules, dampen our cigarettes and Ricard disappeared, so we all headed for dryer ground to wet out whistles at the Turkey's Nest. Thanks for coming over Guys and I hope that more players will be tempted to Brooklyn for "Free Range Petanque playing".........
