THE BELL RINGS FOR MONTH 3
The Eastlake Zoo Tavern plays hosts to an emerging local event known simply as Triathlon; event participants take the time to prepare for next month’s gathering.

SEATTLE, Washington - July 27, 2005

In an attempt to keep himself sharp during recent lunch breaks Mr. Sean O’Connor, an Eastlake resident, has admitted to researching dart throwing and pool shooting techniques. “I just figured I’d take advantage of the down-time and see if I can improve my dart game. I’d really like to continue in my role on team SamSean, but I know that GM Howard can be a bit Steinbrenner-ish in his roster moves, ” O’Connor commented.

The monthly “guys night out” has quickly turned into a tradition occuring on the first Thursday of every month at the Zoo Tavern in the Eastlake neighborhood of Seattle. Triathlon consists of three events: pool, darts, and shuffleboard. The order of events rotates based on venue availability as the group as yet to reach a formal agreement with the management of the Zoo Tavern for exclusive table/board privileges.

It should prove to be an interesting free agent period leading up to next week’s triathlon as players attempt to re-align themselves with a team. Many questions remain unanswered. Specifically, will Month 1’s winning squad of Gleason/Howard reunite, or will Team SamSean give it another go following a rough Month 2 outing? Also, will Month 2’s Championship squad of Reed and Sanchez be able to sign on for another shot at the title? Are there any newcomers lurking in the brush ready to make a run at the title? Does Tall Tom have the patience for finishing in the middle of the pack, or will he tell Valerio “thanks for playing.”

Meanwhile, O’Connor is patiently waiting. He hones his skills and eagerly anticipates next week’s event. “This month it’s on, I won’t just be happy to be there.”
