Late Summer Good Times

~~~

 

Late Summer is always a rich time of year. This being no exception.  As mentioned Brett returned for a 22 hour visit earlier this week.  It was as if no time had passed.  Moreover, especially among the adherents of The Circle Game, he Frank and I launched into a massive Circle Game on Monday, and it was seamless.

Q: What’s so hard about three guys playing songs for 7 hours.

A1: Have you ever done that, and how recently?

A2: It’s not just hanging out, this is The Circle Game, there are aspects of the Circle that are honoured and celebrated. It’s work.

When Brett arrived, The Wife and I were just arrived from a daytrip to ProvinceTown.  Good Times indeed:

Brett arrived as I began what would be the lunch for the next day, a Persian Lamb Stew.  His first task was getting 22 pieces of garlic ready …

After toiling in the Kitchen for about two hours we took a stroll.

Morning came, I awoke, made coffee, then we Sat.  After the morning Sitting I made a fantastic vegetarian egg thing (not pictured).  Then Winthrop Frank arrived for a Three Person Full Olympic Standard Version of The Circle Game, using the new work-in-progress Game Board.

Damn Good Times indeed.

A further reminder to keep one’s head in the Game.
