Day 4

Everyone is gone, and the sky is gray. Not really, it's actually black, but that's just because it's night. So far we have found 3 of Rich's jackets: 1 in the Prius and 2 in the BMW. This shatters the old AI jacket record of zero. This has also spurred us to appoint an ad hoc committee to study this situation and make recommendations for AI-XVI. We have named the committee No Jacket Left Behind.

Well, there's no sense trying to describe Days 3 & 4 because, firstly, everyone (except Kate) was here and already knows what happened and secondly, because even though I was here, I don't remember anything. But, one thing we all know is that Wally won. Yay for Wally! He is worried that his victory may disqualify him from future AI activity.

I am gradually decompressing. I should be OK by mid-June. Hopefully for Flag Day, now that I have a flag.

Day 2

Today we played some games. First, we played golf. Me & Gordon beat the hell out of Rich & Wally 5&3 in the 4 Ball game. They call it 4 ball not because Gordon sometimes uses 4 balls on one hole, but because the Scots came up with weird names for all these games; like, they call alternate shot something like foursomes, which would make some kind of sense if there were 2 guys and 2 women, but otherwise what the hell is that supposed to mean?

Then we went bowling. And guess what?? Jim & Edie won. That's the 6th time for Jim and the 7th for Edie. They both played really well in the 2nd game. Jim especially liked it when they turned the lights out, lit up the pins and started playing Katy Perry videos on the screen where they had been showing our scores.

Now we're going to bed. We are looking forward to Day 3. The weather is going to be fucking fantastic and the food is going to be better. Plus, we're going to play some golf.

Here are some photos.

Day 2 - 1 more look back

Yes, the 2nd day and the 1st full day of AI-XV has come to a conclusion much to the dismay of everyone except the Reef who is anxious to get to his mattress in the home office. We will talk a little about the competition in tomorrow's blog, but for tonight, let's finish our look back at AI-VI - 2002 with this final profile.

XV Eve

I am please to report that I was able to take out the garbage tonight without impaling my left hand with a broken wine glass.
Our next installment of the redoubtable AI Sports Century from AI-VI takes a careful look at the life and times of JB Reifsnyder. Sadly, he is living in a cabin in the mountains that has no access to the internet or even telephone. The FBI is investigating the suspicious resemblance to Ted Kaczynski.

Final handicaps will be issued tomorrow evening.

See you tomorrow!

AI Sports Century - Paze

In our second installment, 48 hours before Wally returns to AI action, we take a look back at his AI Sports Century Profile from AI-VI in 2002.

AI Sports Century - A Look Back

Well, there are about 72 hours until everyone save Gordon assembles at AI HQ for the onset of AI-XV. Due to my fanatical work ethic and innate talent for planning ahead, I have almost nothing left to prepare except the hot tub, pool, bedrooms, AI videos, songs, tournament schedules, flags, posters and paraphernalia. At least I got the tee times. Wait, did I? Is it this weekend?

In the remaining hours, the AI staff thought it might be humorless to take a look back at the first AI video: AI Sports Century, starring 14 year old Sean Burke along with her oddly attired parents. AI Productions has learned a few things in the intervening years, but we still have a soft spot for our first video absurdity.

First up, "AI Sports Century: Gordon" We'll post one tomorrow night and one on AI-XV eve to complete the carnage. We hope you enjoy the stroll down our warped memory lane.
