Close Enough
We do trivia once a month at a little microbrewery tucked away in the city's French Quarter. It actually runs every other week, but half our team is in a curling league. But we try to go whenever schedules allow, and curling was cancelled yesterday, so we went.
The trivia's not usually very hard, and we usually finish in the top handful of teams. We've never won, though. We didn't win last night, either, but we did place second (the last category was "musical instruments, so between my partner and myself, we got 10/10, and our team had the highest score in the third round).
The prize, just before 10pm: a pitcher of beer for the table, with only two at the table (myself included) being beer drinkers. Happily, it turns out that prize comes in the form of a credit for next time. Maybe next time we'll win it all.
