I feel like playing a game

………something like yahtzee. Or scrabble. Or maybe even skip-bo. Something.

Playing games is good therapy. Hhmm…..I feel a webdive coming on. Studying the history of games might be interesting. More bits of who cares about it information. But it’s nice to know at least a little bit about many and varied subjects. And the search for bits of knowledge is sometimes most exhilarating. Do you ever get a rush from an intense webdive? feel an unseen clock ticking? pulse quickening. posture such that you’re almost sitting inside the screen….it could be just me, but I’d bet you know what I’m talking about.

Yah, games. Games are one of the great inventions of all time. Card games, board games, word games, dice games, head games, games of chance, games of knowledge, games of strength and agility. Games.

My brother and I had a chest of games when we were little. We played a game every day. And many games on Saturday. Sunday was filled with the bible, so we didn’t do much on that day. Except study the bible. And eat. The food was good. Anyhow, I remember playing wa-hoo for hours. And Monopoly. Crazy eights and spades. Marbles!

We loved games. I miss my brother. I’m probably thinking about games because I’ll get to see my brother and his little family next weekend. I’m excited about it. My nephew is going to be 8 on Sunday. The image of his papa, he is, and a good boy. A little intense. He knows he wants to be a scientist one day. I still don’t know what I wanna be.

I’m going to play dominoes with my brother next week. And then we’ll play cards with the kids. That will be lots of fun.

But still, tonight, I really wanted to play a game.
