Literati

Lately, B. and I have a new pastime—playing Scrabble. Usually, I would be thrilled beyond belief that I could even get anyone to play Scrabble with me. (I can’t get enough of the game and find that others don’t get as hot and bothered over word games as I do).

There are a couple of minor flaws with our games, however. First, B. doesn’t like to play with actual pieces. He likes to play online (I think, because this lets him cheat more easily) and I miss playing on a Scrabble board. That leads me to the second problem. He cheats with words like fastings, and because the Yahoo online Scrabble dictionary allows such travesties, he gets away with murder.

Seriously though, we have so much fun playing that it doesn’t matter who wins. I just enjoy spending time with him.
