(Reminds me of another splendid old game where a line of kids repeats a phrase to each other down the line and what comes out the other end is not what went in the first person's ear ...) I loved Andy-Over and played it with my brother, but not as often as I liked because he was older and more accurate and - I suspect - bored. Let's just say I spent a lot of time throwing/retrieving/throwing/retrieving before the ball went over the peak :)<br /><br />Now, I like to follow directions as much as the next non-assertive person, but I just have to ask about the pirate ship ... sounds like a post or more to me :)<br /><br /> jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.com
