I grew up in a game playing family. Euchre was the card game of choice and I remember watching and marveling when everyone threw in their hands after only two turns were played because they knew by the few cards played who the winner was. Over the years I've also played a lot of Uno and too many board games to count. Monopoly was a marathon game on Christmas afternoons and with kids and grandkids I have never won a game of Candyland. And my grandchildren will assure you that I don't let them win. A few months ago a friend taught me to play Gin Rummy. This was a new game to me but I caught on fairly quickly. It's a fun game and we are quite closely matched. It's a game played to 100 points and it often takes us several hands to get there. Except for tonight. I was leading 98 to 73 when he swooped from behind and won 125 to 98. After all the extra points got added on the final score was 325 to 198. Now I don't want you to think I'm a sore looser but we will not discuss the second game at all. But tomorrow is another day, and "revenge is a dish best served cold."
