The good folks from Nuveen Investments (Chicago) came to Boston for their event and we got a little bocce in to boot. First we gather the gang together for a brief bocce "primer".

We outline the USBF open rules and tell them how the afternoon will play out. That's the harbor behind me with Old Ironsides in view.

These two courts are in the Steriti Memorial Ice Rink (Commercial St.) and used mostly by the North End bocce gang.

Good form!

More good form.

Let the athletes compete!

Such intensity!

Sometimes the ball seems to have a mind of its own.

After the bocce, dinner and awards. Another good day at the office!
