It’s been about two years now since I received the call from Tommy “The King” Molina. I’d rung my buddy a week or so earlier to tell him about the model I’d landed from Myrtle Beach.

Cork, Ireland
I’m at a hotel called the Hayfield Manor ploppin’ Alka Seltzer to recover from a couple of nights of darts and Beamish Stout here in Cork, Ireland which, for those of you who were dickin’ around in third grade geography class, is a city somewhere in, well… Ireland. …

Ban Assholes!!
If you don’t subscribe to the Cyberdarts List Serve — that miraculous organism out there in the Internet ether which, in my case anyway, causes something like a billion e-mail messages to appear on my computer screen each day — then you SHOULD! Run by Rick Osgood down …

“Beers and Shots” Revisited
It was Greg Cason from the Orlando Pub Darts League who alerted me to the amazing spread about darts that appeared in the April 2, 2001 issue of Sports Illustrated. I dashed off immediately to find a copy. I went to the corner convenience store. Nothing …

Tampa, Florida
For the past couple of months I’ve been considering a move to Florida — going into business with some old buddies from Tampa. This past week I came down to look around. They took me to a Devil Ray’s baseball game. I’m having second thoughts.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
They call it the “Grand Strand” — that alluring, 60-mile string of communities that wanders from the old Little River fishing village to historic Georgetown, the former center of America’s rice empire. I’ll bet you didn’t know that America was once a rice empire?

Thanks a Ton!
Being as this is my 100th of these little ditties, there are several people to whom I owe a debt of gratitude — who have traveled at least a portion of the crazy path I’ve followed since picking up my first set of darts. Each in their …
