...playing Around the World, one on one and PIG (or WAR CRIMINAL when they had a lot of time to kill). It was a little dangerous to the fish tank, and the furniture tended to get a little beat up, but at least it provided a break from the cap pistol wars they sometimes fought, and was easier on their health than swimming the river...

...HAMPSHIRE-RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE: This one could hinge on the goalies. If Cap Raeder is still injured, the UNH Wildcats will have problems. And if RPI's Don Cutts is hot, even Gordie Clark will have trouble beating him. This one could be an upset. RPI, in overtime...

...neared the end of the block, I saw my three drunken friends no more than ten yards from me. I smiled at them, but as they came up to me, the man who was closest, the one with the pilot's cap on his head, reached out and quickly goosed me.
