Jim Croce playing on the boombox. Minestrone piping hot in a big pot that Chuck brought. Chicken salad smeared on sourdough bread. Hot pepperoni, vegetarian and Ken’s special

combo pizzas. Plenty of vino and a few sweets. Needless to say there was plenty to enjoy before we played bocce.

The thermometer may say 54° in Los Gatos, but the climate is awesome and there is no chill in the air. The court is playing fast for its first game in 2014. So far we have 14 people on the roster and the night is still young at 6:30p.

We finished at a quarter to ten with 6 diehards. Green won.

It was a great night.
