by Masago: Rengay #17 (Dec 23-29, 2007), Verses 1-5 (of 6)
Snowy evening — a Christmas card for mailing, last year.
The party guests leave — she wins another gin.
He says he knows / the one who gave the gift — missing nametag.
Returned gamecard — the one he really wants, / is not in stock.
Hockey card collection, all but Wayne Gretzky's*.
*Wayne Gretzky, nicknamed "The Great One," is a very famous hockey player who played in the NHL during the 1980's and 1990's. He broke many records, many of which still stand today. Some say his records may never be broken.

I actually watched Gretzky play gold in a tournament down here about 20 years ago. :)
he played golf, not gold!!
I'm not even Canadian and I know Gretsky
Do I get a Rengay verse for that?? (:
i don't know about him
but the "almost complete" message is still a powerful one
thank you
fondly remember eating granma gretzky's pogies in gretzy's in toronto -
thanks for the memory

Who is Gretsky? Sorry to be so thick.
even we know wayne gretzky
but then again, hockey is quite a popular sport in slovenia :-)
that missing card makes two themes apparent
I used to love playing against the wall with our hockey card collection (the extra ones)during recess. :) I used to win the cards for my brothers.
Andrew: Cool, he was definitely amazing to watch...hockey, that is... :-)
Pamela: Bingo... yes, you get a rengay verse. Today's is dedicated to you. ;-)
Floots: I know what you mean, I have had that feeling a few times.
John: Do you mean 'pirogies'? Was that a restaurant, or were you actually at Wayne's family's home?
Middle ditch: No problem... it is explained just below the posting for this verse (see Dec 27th).
Polona: You are on the ball as usual! I'll be interested to see what two themes you have spotted. :-)
Aurora: What a kind sister (hopefully you kept them out of the mud). :-)
it was in gretzky's resaurant in toronto and it may have been pirogies all I can tell you is it was a meatball stew dish (loved it)
