It’s been many years since I’ve played Scrabble.
“Hey, do you feel like beating the pants off me at Scrabble?” is not generally something I’m asked by friends or family members. I’m not sure why.
Games of chance, mixed with strategy, better describes our field of play.
I remember perhaps the last time my sister and I engaged in battle I played the word “ka.”
It was disputed. This was decades ago. We didn’t have a Scrabble dictionary, and we didn’t have Google, either.
Turns out, Jenny, “ka” IS in the Scrabble dictionary. I know, because in doing some research I looked it up.
Nanny-nanny-foo-foo!
I apologize for my lapse into middle school taunting. Sort of.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
