Finally, some club games!
I had a Scrabble-ful weekend, thanks to the heat wave. The Chicago club moved back to its not-so-ridiculously-far-away-from-me location for one day on Sunday, because the regular spot has "inadequate air-conditioning." It worked out nicely for me, at least, even if it was inconvenient for some of the regular city Scrabblers.
I went 5-2, and had some really good games. If I could just improve my penmanship, I'd be able to read my score sheets and make a nice list of my brilliant plays. (It sure looks like I played HLMAII for 28 and SILMRED for 74, but I'm pretty sure I didn't....)
The day before, I had a visit from the Reverend Cahnman, aka
etheridge2, who was up in my neck of the woods performing a wedding for a couple who were obviously desperate for an officiant for their 7/7/07 marriage. We played a couple games while my husband grilled up some ribs, and then played a couple more after dinner, each going 2-2 for the evening.
It was nice to throw around some tiles in a non-tournament setting for a change, and that will probably be the last real-life practice I get before the Urbana tourney in a couple weeks.
