Portland Octathalon 2013

Andrew* and I have somewhat of a competitive relationship. In fact, not a single Portland visit goes by without at least a little money changing hands on one bet or another. This trip to Portland, however, we decided to get organized.

We devised a list of 8 events, spanning various disciplines, to comprise a winner-take-all Octathalon. While some events were old stand-bys (such as darts or Dr. Mario), a few new ones were thrown into the mix. The competition was 4 day of fun filled intensity with lots of good humored swearing and racket throwing.

Tennis		X*
Simpsons Trivia	X*
Frisbee golf		X*
Darts	X*
Child-sized foosball		X*
Dr. Mario		X*
Words With Friends	Results pending completion
HORSE (on mini-sized hoop)	Currently tied at HORS to HORS, Andrew's shot*

While officially the final results are still up in the air, Andrew has graciously conceded knowing that as WWF game stands, he hasn't a prayer. But that just makes way for fresh start next visit.

Yet again, Portland proves to be great fun!

Oh my. Never in my dreams did I think that I would have to bow my head in defeat. Damn you Black X! If only you hadn't been nearly lost on the 13th hole. (I just suck at Foosball, Words with Friends, and Dr. Mario)

I recently saw this and thought of you both. But didn't know how to send it to both of you in a public, Facebook-y manner. So, perfect timing!
