the games we play

Needed some physical activity, needed to be out of the office but also off the couch, so I dragged Jerry and Tom to Midway in St. Paul this afternoon for bowling. I'm not much of a bowler, my "form" is laughable, both of them are way better bowlers than I am, but it felt good to knock down some pins.... I've been bowling maybe two times in five years, but it turns out that Midway is cool on a Sunday afternoon... Join us next time.

Cards last night vs. Tom and my niece Ruthie, and we finally beat them. Then we switched over to a game of Racko.... First time for that game in many years.. We had to read the rules for a refresher!...

... mindlessly watching the "red carpet" show now before the Oscar telecast... Lots of games there too before the big competition inside the auditorium ---"winners" and "losers" as the Academy voters compare incomparable cinematic achievements... and for the moment only the PriceWaterhouseCoopers guys know how it turns out... (I always wonder how much they get paid for counting the votes -- I'd do it for free)....

I feel I am prepared to battle Aunt Joan now in Rack-O now that I remember how to play. She needs to come next time!
