Luger, Slider, Leaper, Spoiler

Happy 18th Birthday Johanna G!  Actually, this was my reaction when I heard that Johanna was coming to visit this spring.

Sue is off of school today. Again. This is her fourth cold day of the year. She has declared a sit-in. I’ll have to run out for some Chinese food later.

Here Sue played “spoiled” using all seven of her letters earning her a bonus of 50 points but curiously, she beat me by less than 50 points.

Ravel spent some time yesterday leaping onto the backs of the dining room chairs.

And in this game, despite her scoring the seldom heard of “double double word score” (two double words on one play equaling a quadruple score), I beat Sue but the win is in dispute because I used the word “luger” – one who participates in the luge. Sue didn’t dispute it at the time that I played it but today in the sport section of the Star Tribune, they described someone who participates in the luge as a “slider”. Sue may be awarded the judgment in a Scrabble Trial by Jury.

We saw one of the nerds on The Big Bang Theory wearing this exact sweater which I purchased from Target. I think it was the comic store owner, Stewart. Do I look like a Luger? I used to describe this as my Alan Harper Sweater (from Two and a Half Men).
