WHY I CAN NOW DIE HAPPY

Is it because I got a shiny new laptop?  Nope.  Is it because I got to spend the week-end playing with cute little people like these?  Of course that was great, but nope.  Is it because I figured out that my new photo printer is not broken, you just have to know that when you put the paper in backwards the ink runs all over and stains your fingers and desk when you touch it and it never dries?  (Sorry, Cannon tech guy.)  Now, as Tate would say:  TA DAH:  I can now die happy because my husband of 36 years+  PLAYED SPEED SCRABBLE with me.  Granted, he didn't exactly play without some spousal urging and didn't completely conform to the rules but at least he didn't try to win with words like "SUD".  ('There was a "sud" bubble on my finger.'  NO, there can never be a "sud" bubble on anyone's finger.

  3. I'm glad Dad took up your dumb bastardized Scrabble game -- hopefully this means you'll stop trying to recruit me. Scrabble with no Triple Word Scores?! Preposterous!

    Karst's picture made me think of those nature documentaries where the cold-blooded predator is about to devour the baby fuzzy-wuzzy. I'm shouting at the camera guy, "C'mon man, warn the fuzzy-wuzzy so he doesn't get eaten!" I suppose you felt ethically bound not to interfere and to allow nature to take it's course.
