scrabble nights

ok, so....we enjoyed a second night of scrabble after shakertown last night, partly for the fun of it and mainly to give ourselves something to do until my brother arrived...which he eventually did....seems the d.c. traffic getting out of town and on into maryland was bumper to bumper and 20 mph for quite a ways.....and as it happens he didn't miss much.....our dinner at s-town was not up to dinners past.....though the overall downer-mood could also be because of the list of people missing....not only a brother but a child and a girlfriend who stayed in nyc doing data entry for her ph.d. advisor rather than come home for the holidays.....ah well.....things change and we must change with those things......but i digress from scrabble...the eldest went on to beat us all again.....with a whopping score......must wait til after the holidays to play him again......we drive him to the airport after lunch......bon voyage.....
