\n<\/p>\n

I’m just back from Dick’s Sporting Goods at the local shopping mall where I
\nwas attempting to exchange one dartboard for another (dang, this makes it sound
\nlike I’ve been en route for days, since my last blog entry even). Why the
\nexchange? We’d been stringing along on half-commitments, shamelessly doling out
\none-of-these-days<\/i>es to Ph. as a way to defer the purchase of a dartboard
\nfor the basement. Finally, yesterday, I splurged on the board. It’s
\nnothing extravagant, but for the price one would think it would come with
\neverything advertised on the box, including two sets of crappy darts. Got
\nthe package home, however, and tacked up the board before learning that the
\ndarts themselves had escaped the package. They were nowhere to be found.
\nYou can imagine our disappointment; gloom overflowed. I’d even picked up
\nan open-patella knee sleeve at Dick’s to keep my loose and slippery left
\nknee-parts compacted while heaving the darts at the basement wall.<\/p>\n

So back to Dick’s I went late this afternoon. They had one other
\ndartboard on the shelf like the one I bought yesterday. Perfect.
\nUntil I opened it and found that it, too, was missing the small bag of dart
\nparts. No bag. No darts. No other boards like it (next
\nclosest, a thirty-dollar upgrade). So I went ahead and picked up a set of
\nsoft-tips, talked the asst. manager into giving me them at a significant
\ndiscount. Completed: a dartboard and darts for the basement. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
