I rocked Scrabble today. In attendance: myself, Jean, Karen, Karen's daughter Monica, and a newcomer, Jonel, who I think is from the art department. Christine and Kristina were busy, so was Lou, and I don't know what happened to Tariq.

My words:
VOICER (22 points - I wanted to do VOICED but the ER was already on the board)
SANDED / GRITS (16 points)
FADE (24 points on the triple word)
FLITS / SUIT (26 points - I landed the joining S on a double word block so I got the double word both ways)
DANK (11 points)

I used up all my letters with DANK, surprising everyone and leaving them stuck with lots of letters. I cleaned up 40 points there, 17 of which were from Monica, who had the Z, poor thing. Total score: 139. Everyone else was in the 55-75 range, so I was pretty proud.

PS. I forgot to say, Jean's turning into a total Scrabble powerhouse. Today she put down a word and made sure to point out that the V was on a triple-word block--she got like 16 points out of that. And she's remembering so many of the two-letter little words (like XI, QI, and AI), and rocking words in both directions. So glad I made her start playing!
