The Scrabble Game April 13, 2015

Almost Pi is a gift of time in a simple setting, and when I am here with Annie, we slow down to play a word game or two – her specialty.  This past holiday season was tumultuous for her – and me – and we tried to regroup over the New Year by hunkering down here at Pi.  We started a game of Super Scrabble, with its quadruple word corners.  The board is two-thirds full and I am losing.  Annie already has 536 points.  Vamp, jilted, thorny, whams, and relaxed. 

For some reason, we were not able to finish the game.  The board, wooden tiled racks, and score pad are still on the coffee table.  It is Annie’s turn, and I’m waiting for her to come back.
