scramble.....

ok, so.....i have fully admitted that i play scramble with my eyes half shut in the morning... with my coffee.....the urge to take one's turn is just too great.....and alas, the discovery that some brilliant foe has beaten you by one single point is hard to take, even with one's coffee at hand.....realistically, this person could have beat me with more than that one point...why show off it with more than it takes to win?....ah well.....a game disappeared overnight because the player teaches school (out of d-ville) and has obviously been very busy...i am playing with my bro-in-law and his 2 sisters all at the same time.....which is like herding cats as the youngest sibling lives in new zealand and plays at very odd times.......and i am in the midst of play with a far-flung friend.....and i am very much hoping that her brilliance with language does not otherwise transfer to finding english words on a 5 x 5 screen!......i need to win on occasion to keep hope alive......and given that i cannot play during the day.....facebook is still blocked by the state o'ky......i have to get my thrills in before and after work.....at this point i have only broken 100 once, and only made it to the leader board on a game that lacked players......i so enjoy this game because it feels as though it has the potential to keep my brain agile......and this may come in handy when my brain decides to follow the lead of my aching/aging bones......
