I Won $10 at our Monthly Bunco

Our inaugural neighborhood Bunco game of the month was held at Dan and Nicole's house, which not only meant a short walk for my wife and me, but also that there would be wonderful Belgian treats. Although I was expecting hors d'ourves of the French persuasion, I found the meat balls and little weenies to be delicious substitutes.

Lady luck showed up early in the evening. At the very first table, I rolled ten 1's in a row, astonishing my neighbors and establishing me as the one beat for the night.

I held a seat at the main table for about five straight rounds, and several times otherwise. Yes, I was it, and a dollup of Cool Whip.

My streak began to falter somewhat in the last game, (there were a total of four), but the momentum had carried me far enough to show up at the end with a multi-holed index card in the win column, and two Buncos to boot.

Of course, the biggest prize goes to him who has the most Buncos, which somewhat mysteriously turned out to be the host. Hmmm. Not that I'm accusing him of anything. Hmmm.

I ended up with the most wins, however, which was good for a $30 prize. I had put in $20 for my wife and me, so a quick calculation shows a net win of $10. (Please feel free to use an electronic calculator or spreadsheet to double-check my math.)

I have not yet decided what to do with my $10, although I'm sure this will be a topic of intense discussion for many weeks to come in my house, and the world of the Supreme Aglet is once again in perfect balance.
