Through The Years With Jeff

When I look back on the times we've shared, undoubtedly the most recurring memory is "game on".  It didn't really matter what kind of game, there just had to be some competitive aspect to what ever we were doing.  I remember those Saturday nights, usually at your place on Pritchard when we would get together for a game of Mille Bournes.  There was nothing finer than answering  a "flat tire" card with a squealing "Coup-fourre".   The number of cribbage games played were countless,  and oh how the sweet feeling was of thinking, "I've got a "double double run!"  As the kids got older, the intensity of  basketball in the driveway and football games in the street were legendary. I remember fondly a game of football played during Jackie's birthday  a few years ago, where you and I showed Joe and John that treachery, old age, and cunning could still overcome youth and excitement!  In the latter years the post game aches and pains lingered a bit longer, but the visits to Urgent Care were nil, thankfully, or Diane and Deb would never let us forget it.
A lot of good times through the years,  no doubt because we were surrounded by family and friends to share those moments.
Coach Wooden was fond of saying, "Sports do not build character, they reveal it."  He was correct, and yours is a good one!
Happy birthday, old friend!  Greg
