Anybody else getting tired of this?

I know I am. Three years running, the Cody's have beaten my parents in the title match of the Boca Memorial Invitational. Rookies Dan & Claire Mitchell had enough game to take third place. Judy & I failed to win a game all day. Oh well, at least I got to spend some quality time in the hot tub. More photos here, if you want to bother.

Boca Memorial Invitational 2006

Well, we held the Boca Memorial Invitational this past weekend. Let me just say that our team, the defending champions, did not win. Which was bullshit. But I digress... Aside from the fact that I didn't win, a good time was had by all. Also, a great deal of beer was had by all. We very nearly killed off a quarter barrel of Lakefront Cream City Pale Ale. We also feasted upon several varieties of potatoe salads, bratwursts, and hamburgers. This years' champions were Dan and Jen Cody, who beat 2002 Champions Tom & Lin Buchs. In a bizzare turn of events, the champs opted to take possesion of the runners up prize, a "Salsa Garden" starter set of cilantro, peppers, onions, and tomatoes. They did keep the 1st place ribbons, however. That meant that the grand prize itself went to the 2nd place team - who I am sure will enjoy the Maragarita Kit. After the tournament and dinner, there was another important matter of business to attend to. I'll save the details surrounding that to another post, but I'll tease you with photos of what I'll refer to as "The Weigh In". Photos of the Boca tourney also follow. Enjoy, and thanks to everyone who came and participated.

A Tradition Unlike Any Other

The Boca Memorial Invitational returns to U.S. soil this year on June 3, 2006, making its second stop in Southeastern Wisconsin in the last 4 years. This year's field promises to be one of the deepest and most talented ever, highlighted by not one by TWO past champions returning for another title run. The Tournament will be held once again at Boca Memorial Stadium, located in Waukesha, WI. The Stadium has been newly renovated for the 2006 Boca season, highlighted by additional seating and a noise-dampening barrier surrounding the grounds to help players maintain the highest level of concentration. More information will be posted in the days ahead, but make sure to clear your schedules for Saturday, June 3 2006. Sign-in ...
