My friend in Detroit started a Scrabble game online (www.scrabulous.com) and forced me to participate by doing the first word, putting me in the game and then sending a notification through the site that it was my turn. Now I am BAD at Scrabble -- my brain freezes up, I panic, so I never play.
But Elizabeth had so kindly started the game and included me so I thought I should do something. She put up the word DIVEST, and I tried to figure out what to do with my letters that had two Vs and two As. I had no idea what to do.
I e-mailed my family -- "are you up yet?" I asked (my kids are still at home, not yet back in school/college). "If so please help me." I e-mailed my husband and my friend Brenda too. I tried to think of a word. Hours later from the US, Brenda
e-mailed a couple of suggestions. One was DIVA so I went with that. Now I am blogging about this, and my husband has looked over my shoulder and told me that I put the letters in the wrong place, not in the double and trip point dark squares -- well, I didn't even know that! I'm going to have to take a crash course on Scrabble this weekend, and in the meantime, confess to Elizabeth that I had outside help.

Elizabeth, you're doing great! Scrabble gets your mind going, so it's great for the brain.
Scrabbo Girl, I don't even know the rules yet. I'm going to get out our ancient Scrabble over the weekend and try to learn.
