If you haven’t guessed it yet from the Daily Word on the front page of my site – I like words. Naturally I like Scrabble too.

So I decide right there I’ll pass on the competive division (Yes, they actually have divisions of play) and play a few rec games against a few old ladies.
That’s cool enough until my two new best buds finish their game and come over to stare at my tiles and offer suggestions.
