I can't stop playing online Scrabble. I have almost ten games going at once and I seem to be losing all of them terribly. Science people who I challenge just to make myself feel good end up beating me by over 300 points because they bingo off words I never heard of. My first Scrabble guru taught me that it wasn't about what words you made, rather what tiles you placed on specific colored squares. As it turns out, this is all a lie. The real secret is to get a bunch of bingos on words that sound made up and rack up over 500 points before your enemy gets the Z on the triple letter score.
I must keep playing until I get better. I just have to be better at this.
After years of nomadic temporary employment, advanced degrees, and chocolate ice cream, a rugger with a love of knitting and a cyclist with no domestic skills signed a Ketubah and bought a house in Pittsburgh.
