 Plenty
of hors d'oeuvres were available before the meal. |
 There
was lots of great food. |

 It
was too windy for the first game. The wind moved the balls more than
the fans did. |
|
 It
can sometimes get quite interesting. |
 And
sometimes very intimate. |
 Pass-the-lifesaver
is fun but a lot less exciting. |
 Some
people get very serious about it. |
