What was the World like before Bocce and Internet?

With Bocce being one of the oldest games and the Internet really just caught on to the masses about 10 - 15 years ago, I remember my start on WEBTV Nov. '97,

the World seemed a bit slower then. Information hungry topic oriented subjects, there was the Library, but my main source was VALLEDARES.

Now gone, one became hooked, dependend to the net and being without one for just a few days and having to restart most everything, things can become a bit frustrating.

Anyway, glad problems are resolved, (for NOW), but Mercury in retrograde until Oct.10, I hope the effects are fading.

Being able to work on this again...

Back on again!

Trying to recollect some old data I've lost during reformatting the Hard Drive, but just to let you know.

Don't forget the "Official Website" of the League!

Thursday's updates are posted!

After last night's surprising results, Charley's Place suffered their first loss of the season, the group really tightened up in the standings. Even though only 6 weeks into the season, and the 5th play-off spot usually the only one to be battled for, it might be that this season the usual qualifiers are down to 3.

Of course it's a long way to go and the make-up games can change things quite a bit, it's always fun to look at the possibilities and of course keep hoping your team will reach the minimal goal set at the beginning of the season - Reach the Play-Offs.

Blue Screen Update!

Thank God I got the Laptop working!

The Main PC I will ignore for now, for one reason is finances, the other I'm not trying to go through 3 more days of hair raising moments of frustration and tantrums for feeling time pressured.

So I hope that tonight I'll be able to play and let all these negative moments over the past few days be bygones and have some fun.

The Blue Screen got me!

Things got a little hectic as I have just the laptop to work with.
Please be patient till the weekend, hopefully I'll have it fixed by then.
After all, there are other things in life still to be taken care of.

But I'll see you Thursday!

Get this week's updates!

See what's happening this week and listen to the Talk of the Town!

Pages are being updated - though have to do all with this laptop since I goofed around the PC just a bit too much!

See you at the "Clubhouse" and the Bocce Courts, and Bayview Park, H.O.B. now with the AYSO season starting...
Guess I'll be busy for a while!

Notes: GM's quick exit from bankruptcy good news for NASCAR - Sprint Cup, NASCAR - CBSSports.com NASCAR, IRL, F1

A bit out of line and a competely different topic, but..
... after all, CP's is still the official Southernmost Pit Stop for Nascar and a definite HotSpot for NasCar Fans.
Ask the friendly folks how you can join!

Although these articles and quotes below are a couple of month old and I am by no nor any means a NASCAR Fan, (F1 is more me), but one of my relatives has certainly made some headlines during those days and has since moved to Hendrick motors.

Just a quick quote from the articles from July's editions.

"We've raced Chevys for 25 years," Doug Duchardt said at Chicagoland Speedway. "This is just one situation. We've worked through it and we'll move on down the road."
Duchardt, the former head of GM Racing, was surprised at how quickly the car company escaped bankruptcy. GM notified teams last month that it would cut back spending after filing for Chapter 11 protection.

Duchardt said these changes made to their agreement after meeting with GM officials, but expected no further adjustments to their contract.

"We're happy that they committed to us in the middle of all that," Duchardt said. "Now that the bankruptcy is over, it doesn't really change anything after we had that meeting."

Rained OUT!

First Rain-out of the season!

As strange as it may sound and after the many days believing there wouldn't be any games, it happened yesterday.

After a few heavy thundersqualls the courts were just to wet and unplayable at the time.
So we have another week to look forward to.

Key West Clubhouse / Bocce News Bulletins

In a news post in the official Bocce page last April a benefit tournament was mentioned, yet nothing has come of it so far.
I've been wondering about the subject as I have heard several comments I prefer not too repeat.

Will week 2 be a rainout?

Hi everyone,

It appears the 2nd week of the fall-season might just be a complete wash out!
Preparing for my upcoming tests really doesn't leave me much time for nearly 3 more weeks and consequently certain things regretfully have to be put on a backburner.
(Which btw. I'm running out of, lol.)

Right now there's another heavy rain squall pouring down on us and with the sun not getting a chance to perform her miracles on the courts, it just looks as if tonight might be the first casualty of our young season.

Perhaps it gives me an opportunity to complete at least our night (Thursday) at the BOCCE GAZETTE . <==HINT - click on it

I hope you have been checking it out; I still need some more sponsor information.
Ok, that's it for now, back to my "Honey Do's" with an important soccer match in the background on TV.

(Can think of a couple other places I'd rather be right now, but hey, make the best out of it.

See you Thursday!
