Another evening has passed without cleaning the house. Do you suppose that cleaning the guest bathroom will be enough?

B, after much begging and pleading, played Scrabble with me, our first game in decades! Well, it didn't take that much persuasion and it has only been three weeks.

I won!

It was a close game, forcing me to pay quite close attention because I had the potential for a win, but it was not one of those happy blow-outs. If I were honest, I would admit that I mostly won because I got some high-point letters and have the slightest tendency to go for the cheap points rather than the creative word play.

Boy, have I missed my dear B. Next time she goes on vacation for three weeks, I need to be there!
