It was a night when just four teams in for Trivia Night at Josie Wood's, and it included Larry, who was on the defending champions last week, my brother-in-law Jimmy, an Australian girl named Toby, and the bar staff. But we had fun anyway, explaining baseball to Toby, and Larry wound up the winner, with 26 points. Jimmy finished second with 20.
Hopefully we'll have a bigger crowd next week.
