Last week when someone learned James played piano he asked, "what's your go-to song?" James didn't really have an answer to this except to say, "something classical, I guess". When I took classical guitar lessons many years ago my teacher said I needed to have one song I could play when someone asked me to play them something. I never did have a song (a go-to song) I could just rip off.
Adam and Melissa were here to spend Christmas with us.
It was great having them here. Melissa has picked up her guitar again and she said the only song she said she can really play is Wagon Wheel. Now that she and I sang a few lines of it I've had the song stuck in my head all day. Would you like to join me in singing?
What does this have to do with Scrabble? Nothing really except that I'd have to say for my whole life Scrabble has been my go-to game. It's my Wagon Wheel. I've loved playing it ever since I was young. My mom and I used to play it a lot. Every now and then when I go back to PA we play. When we have house guests? Yup, you guessed it - Scrabble. After a nice day yesterday we ended our Christmas with a game of it. James' first move was ZA (used in 2 directions for more than 40 points). Adam went on to tell us how he hates playing us because we use all these "Scrabble words" - you know - words only Scrabble players know. We also bog down the board real tight so it's hard to find places to make words. I spoke to my mom today and she informed me that one of my sisters also hates playing Scrabble with me and James. Is there anyone else out there who hates playing with us that we don't know about?
Words With Friends is an online Scrabble game that James and I are hooked on. We always have a game going between the two of us - him upstairs and me downstairs. As I type this I recognize that that sounds very weird. My other sister, who hasn't yet verbalized that she hates playing with me, also always has an ongoing game with me.
I don't think I'm addicted but I understand it IS an addiction for other people.
Can we interest any of our friends in a game?

Yes, I hate playing with you! I always feel so stupid. Plus, I am a terrible speller.
