The Comedy of Scrabble
Lunchtime at the Café Del Sol…
Bruce to Mara: What are you doing?!
Mara: It’s the Scrabble box, Bruce. See if you can balance it on your head.
Bruce: You guys have way too much time on your hands.
Mara: What?! I’m a full-time student and single parent.
Bruce: Well, too much imagination then.
Colleen: Scrabble is just a premise for our real work. Hold still for a minute, Bruce, while I get this shot. We’re going to blog you!
As Mara and I begin our game at the next table, we hear Bruce lean over to his friend John and say, “Scrabble? Isn’t that the game where you come up with words?”

I am really enjoying your words, I am new here. Yesterday you had me in tears with the moving tribute to your dad, now a big grin over the guy’s description of Scrabble! Thanks.

Thanks, Karen. I’ve visited your site too and have tried to comment but it doesn’t allow non-blogger.com comments! I like the penguins.

Thanks for visiting earlier, Colleen. I’ve been looking around; I’m so sorry about your father. I hope your good memories of him sustain you during the holidays.

Nothing that exciting ever happens at our local diner.

Poor Bruce, to be picked on so but what a good sport. Have a safe and restful weekend.

I wonder if you can use the word blog in Scrabble–has it made the official dictionary yet?

Looks like adventures in pizza delivery to me. Bruce is a great (and now famous!) sport.

Hey, isn’t that John’s “Billygoat” Bruce?

Great picture, sorry it took me a while to post this comment because I got caught up the posts about your father. Very moving. I’m sorry about your loss.
Michele sent me this time. I will be back on my own.

This looks like a fun afternoon.

Reminds me of a wedding I attended this summer. The waiter carried all the trays on his head, then culminated his act by dancing to Brick House still balancing a tray full of cake.
Your scrabble games look like fun.

At my sister’s Christmas party tonight (Deana, your first commenter today), your website was a topic of conversation. She didn’t know that you were from Floyd or that your site is one of our favorites. But Amy and I both noticed that she had commented earlier. Small world.
Her husband is a writer too. He has two books published and is working on his third. The Many Aspects of Mobile Home Living and Plain Heathen Mischief.
The photo is really cute.

[…] my friend Mara made everyone write on her pants or the time she put a Scrabble box on our friend Bruce’s head. Once we played Scrabble with two boards, six players at two tables. Another time my blog friend […]
