The Champion's Reward

Poolies,

OK, so, months late, and after years of promising, the Poolmeister and the rest of the Jackson/Knotts have finally gotten off their collective duffs to deliver something long promised: the Champion's Trophy.

Our 2008 Pool Champion, in case you've forgotten, is our own Chris Dykes, dubbed "The Fainting Goat" for reasons explained in earlier blog posts (and which I've forgotten and am far too lazy to scroll down to discover.) He has the trophy in his sweaty hands, and I'm hoping for a picture of the trophy in situ at Clear Creek Rancho Lavendero, way down there in Oklahoma. In case that doesn't happen, I'm adding two photos of the trophy before it left our shores for its trip down south.

We've decided not to make it a traveling trophy. Each year's winner will get his or her own trophy to keep in perpetuity. Forever, people.

I'm already thinking about next March.

Hugs and kisses,

C
