SCRABBLED

We played our first SCRABBLE game of the year. Instead of playing with seven tiles the rules state, we played with nine. We couldn't locate our Scrabble dictionary, but if there was an objection, we could use our phones to Google.

I started out slow but managed to eek out a victory, 248-239.

My wife did really well, but you just cannot beat a crossword aficionado. Heh, heh...
