I’m losing it!
Sara came over tonight to play Scrabble. Kenny was going to play, too, but copped out at the last minute. It seems that my reign as “Scrabblemeister” around here is at an end. For the 2nd night in a row, I lost – 271 to 294. Partly, this was because I had horrible letters – roughly 2/3 of my hand was vowels the entire time. Partly, this was because Sara had some good words – with PET and BIB on the board, she got a double-word score on the Y:
L U M PET BY I B
She got 40 points that turn. And I had just started to tie up the game!
Partly, this is happening because I’m really not that good at Scrabble. I appear to be better than other people around here, but I don’t stand a chance against Mini, or even my parents. Well… I dunno. I’ve never seen my parents get a 7-letter word. Regardless, I’m not disappointed that Sara finally beat me. It was a good game.
