Game No. 1

I just played my first Scrabble game ever! It lasted 3.5 hours. I lost to Sarah ~400 to 350. It got really interesting toward the end, when all seven of my tiles were vowels for the last 3 or 4 rounds.

UUUUU
EEEE
AIIIII
EUUUU

Scrabble is not a game for those who lack patience. I think I took like 20 minutes for one of my turns. Sorry Sarah! It's just that I really wanted to get that 10-point Z in a triplet-letter box. Eventually, I figured out that "letting go" is also a good virtue to have when playing Scrabble.
