hey all. I am indeed still playing quite a bit of Scrabble. There has definitely been less interesting to write about since moving to Asheville. Most of the interesting positions that I run into at my current club, don't really have much consequence because they rarely have any say over the outcome of any given game. At one point I had a 32 game streak of 31-1-1. Which is fine. I still love to play, but it makes for not a ton of blog-worthy material. Actually if anything it has made me a little sloppier especially with convincing myself to play words I am not 100% on. Anyway, this was a fun game from club against probably the best regular player we have. (skip to the second link (or turn 13) if you want a fun board vision quiz).

All is very, very well.
PS - Katy is pregnant and due in January to all of my non Facebook friends. More to come on that at a future date. Right now the two names we have that are sticking are Idris (pronounces E-driss) for a boy and Isabelle or Isabella (with the nickname of Isa - pronounced E-sa) for a girl.
