Scrabble

Jac and I just spent the last two days playing scrabble. She usually wins. I celebrate my rare victories by dancing around and reminding her that I Am The Champion. In scrabble, though, it's not the final result but the small victories mid-game that are more memorable. I used "lakh" on a triple word score. Go me. Jac got 18 points just by putting "a" on "maze". There were internal debates on how to spell "docent," and the usual discussion of whether "jew" is always a proper noun (it's not). Scrabble is best played while listening to a new album on repeat obsessively. The mere fact that you are sitting with someone who ALSO wants to listen to it AGAIN is a wonderful thing.
