At Campus Martius today, we received a visit from MaineGal's Dad. He joined in on the game and played quite respectably for a first timer.
"His great playing must be due to lots of croquet or bowling," guessed Jeff Widen, "and I certainly hope he spreads the word about Petanque back at home."
Here we see him holding aloft a boule captured in a "boule lifter" - one of many obscure pieces of Petanque equipment.
