We woke up yesterday morning to snow.
.
.
The forecast called for 6-8 inches but we barely got 4.
.
,
Maine winters aren’t what they used to be, but the birds still need to be fed.
.
.
There really wasn’t enough white stuff to blow, but men do love their noisy toys.
After the chores were done, we headed out to the man cave for a game.
.
.
And even with horrible letters like these, I was victorious.
By late morning?
It was time to start drinking.
.
.
And after listening to that inaugural speech?
.
.
I might keep drinking until 2029.
😒

River's world..... 
I’m glad I did not listen. And, dude, how did you win with those letters?!?

I met a young woman in Alaska who’s a scrabble champion, and the way she talked about how letters work together just blew my mind. I still plunk down the simplest of words and think, yay!

Your win was way more impressive than the inauguration (or so I have read, I just saw snippets on social media, mainly of Ensign Apartheid (Elon).

I knew it would be bad.
But the degree of bad surprised even me.

Your inaugural party was way better than that C*** fest going on in Washington. I did not watch, nor wanted to hear anything because this is the start of a four year long nightmare. I should have had some adult beverages too but I am coming down with a cold and those two just don’t mix. Since I am taking cold meds because I’m on day three of my new job and I can’t take sick leave just yet.

I had to watch, even though everything in me screamed no.
Alcohol helped, but not enough.
A cold to start your new job? Boo to that.
Hope it passes quickly…

I didn’t watch. I would have needed a gun. I am horribly disappointed no one prevented this from happening.

I’m sorry but you only have yourself to blame for watching the inaugural speech.
As for “men do love their noisy toys”, it depends on the men you’re hanging out with.

Or was the speech just an excuse to start drinking before noon? That changes things…

We don’t really need an excuse, just a happy coincidence…

Luckily my TV is dead. I watched The Number One Women’s Detective Agency on my computer and sat in the sun. I think you’d enjoy that series – either on TV or in book form.

Does your scrabble board have a removable grid or is it a trick of the light?

It’s the special Drunken Scrabble board for those who have trouble getting the letters in the right place without messing them up. 😉

Much better. I imagine it helps the game go a bit faster. My hands shake and it’s hard for me to keep it neat.

I love this board. Not only does it keep the letters in place, but it spins and is housed in an attractive wood. Cost $120-$130 but we like it.

I have a copy of Risk that’s like that. It’s like new because nobody wants to play. It only cost me $2.00 from the library bookstore.

Ugh, just one letter short of “ass,” which would have been perfect given what was on the TV.
