Sunday Afternoon: STEVE AND JAE PLAY SCRABBLE!
May 19, 2002

Today I visited Jae to play Scrabble with her and she was actually wearing a Boston Red Sox shirt! As a New York Yankees fan, THIS WAS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE IN MY PRESENCE! |
 |
By the way, Jae has this big hang-up about being on my web site (just like my sister-in-law) so I blocked out her face. Oh, and notice how she changed her shirt! :) |
 |
Actually, before we started playing, Jae gave me some food! That's two large baked potatoes with chili and cheese melted and gooey on top! YUMMY! |
 |
Finally, we began playing. With those tiles, I opened with "FLEET" with the F on the double word score ...24 points! :) |
 |
To give a little background, here's the scorecard for the last time we played. I DESTROYED HER 390-193, so I knew she'd be out for revenge. |
 |
By the way, Jae and I hiked in Garden of the Gods awhile back. |
 |
Later on, I sipped on some green tea. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! |
 |
Here's what tiles I had... |
 |
...and I placed this on the triple word score! :) |
 |
For much of the game, I was really obsessed with looking at the one ugly wart on my finger. I know, I know, you probably did not want to see that. I'd rank that wart as worse than my stitched up knee but not as bad as my toe nail problem last year. |
 |
As the game went on, Jae continued to criticize my moves like this one. She accused me of using "cheesy Scrabble words." That blank was an E, so I made HE, HA and AR for 20 points. |
 |
Shortly after, Jae had the nerve to put down ZOE on a double word score, which is not a word! |
 |
We argued about it and I really lost my cool. :( |
 |
Ah well. Here was the final score. :) |
