<p>Hopefully everyone isn’t still hungover from Easter candy. We’ve gotten to the last few weeks of spring in DC, which means the muggy summer days are just around the corner, so enjoy the weather while you can.</p>

<p>Special thanks to Tawny who brought an amazing <a href="https://whiskeddc.com/collections/pies/products/sea-salt-chocolate-chess-pie">Sea Salt Chocolate Chess Pie</a> to share in honor of π-day. Topic of discussion this week involved where people fell within the birth order and how it may have impacted their family dynamic. (No this week’s update isn’t sponsored by Better Help but if they want to throw some sponsorship money my way I’m listening.)</p>

<p>Remember everyone we’re in weather roulette season, where the temperatures can swing 40 degrees one day to the next so don’t forget to check the weather before heading to cribbage this week.</p>

<p>Don’t forget this Tuesday is St Patrick’s day, so don some green and recognize that St Patrick is the patron saint of paralegals.</p>

<h3 id="joy">Joy</h3>

<p>DC Cribbage is all about the people that show up, and <em>you</em> showed up in force. We counted 24 people, the largest turnout ever. We also had some visitors from Jersey, not the home of Jersey Mike’s, the OG <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey">Jersey.</a> Thank you all!</p>

<p>To add to the joy is the announcement of our new home,  <a href="https://trustysdc.com">Trusty’s</a>, another local neighborhood establishment. We’ll play on the patio; don’t worry, it’s covered and heated. If you’re unfamiliar with Trusty’s, the patio is upstairs; the stairs are just past the front door on the right. Also, cheesesteaks, mmmmm, cheesesteaks.</p>

<h3 id="pain">Pain</h3>
<p>February 24th will be our last session at Duffy’s. Duffy’s has been a consummate host, keeping us filled up with wings and various other fried delicacies, pretzels 🧑‍🍳 👌💋 and making sure we were never dehydrated.</p>

<p>A special thanks to Belen, who led the effort to establish “The Board,” which gave people bragging rights for the week. Thank you!</p>

<p>Steve and Tom, who let me set up shop, it’s much appreciated.</p>

<p>Duffy’s has been an amazing host and will be sorely missed. Thank you again.</p>

<p>It is with a heavy heart 💔 that I share the news that Duffy’s will be shutting down at the end of the month. DC Cribbage will continue, and the executive board is diligently working to find a new venue. If you have any suggestions, please pass them along to <a href="dan@dcdan.com">DC Dan</a>.</p>
