Scrabble, Anyone?

Most of us spend a lot of time messing around with our electronic gadgetry these days and since I started blogging, I’ve spent far too many hours at my computer. You might even say I've become a little geeky.

And that reminds me: a favorite form of recreation is getting together with my son Steve and his wife Nancy for a game of Scrabble, a board game that’s been around for decades.
