You have a good memory. Yes, I posted the story of how I once "officiated" a croquet match. It was a charity fundraising event and there was a match between a local Lions Club and a retirement center. They both recruited local "celebrities" to also play on their teams and they asked me to "officiate" and also narrate the match with a bullhorn (not that I really need one) during play.

The funniest part was that my then-State Representative, who was the most unathletic guy I've ever met, actually lost to some lady from the retirement center who had to use a walker! I've never let him forget that but I might reconsider teasing him about it since he is now in charge of our state prison system!
