With the anniversary niceties concluded, the Todaro clan lowered the boom on the Pennellas, claiming both the individual week title and the overall family competition lead (as well as most of the stray chocolates from the banquet room tables).
The Pennella’s poor performance was spearheaded by Chris & Clark’s paltry four win performance. The dynamic duo’s display thus far has only served to cast dispersions on the wisdom of Ecclesiastes 4.9, specifically the notion that “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed (New Living Translation, 1996).
On the Todaro side, Pete returned from his one week “voluntary” sabbatical with an uncharacteristically strong performance, winning 8 out of 13 games. Alas, his 19 and 3/4 over/under prediction grossly underestimated the ability of the Falcons and Jets to score (on the field as well as in the late night Buckhead bar scene), thus handing the title to his little sis.
As a result of her strong performance, Claire was named underaged bettor of the month and will enjoy a Denny’s Grand Slam breakfast with the future parole officer of her choice this weekend. Congrats to Claire. Hopefully her parents will get a bumper sticker out of the deal as well.
