Or should I say Scrabbled! One of my fears of aging is of losing my mind! or perhaps better said, losing my memory. To combat this I have started playing Scrabble. Since my husband won't play and there is no one else here, I have found a wonderful audience on my ipod. Like magic there are all these people willing to trade words with me. It has become an obsession, really. I carry that darn thing all around the house with me lest I should miss my next turn. Sometimes I have up to 10 games going.
I also thought this would be a good way to increase my vocabulary. All I have learned so far is that I am really good at finding four letter words and that there are definitely people out there who cheat! After some really amazing words showed up that didn't even look like words I discovered a website that will unscramble all of your letters and give you a breakdown of every word known to mankind in every length. I confess I have used it on several occasions in retaliation to the word mongers! But mostly I challenge myself to find the best words and highest scores. After all what's the fun in cheating!
Ta Ta for now...
