THIS WEEK AT THE CLUB…
*** Standings, Season 74: Wk 19 of 25 – September 10, 2019 ***
Some games are just pedestrian. Bernard and Peta made no fewer than eight plays scoring a dreary 20 points each in the game between them at the Club this week. Susan, holding six vowels and a D, played D-E only to draw another D-E — played that, and drew D-E once again. And then there are games that blow off the roof. Dahlia had the joy of a 113-point triple-triple word-score with OUTLINES, which put her almost 200 points ahead of the returning Asher (absent for two months on an important matrimonial mission). Even his hard-to-see HAGADIC (of or relating to the Hagada) served only to shrink her lead from two bingos to one. But his follow-up with EARPIECE (part of a telephone, earphone or eyeglasses) took him sailing past her to win the game by 450 points to Dahlia’s 424. It seems that Asher’s three-and-a-half-week-old marriage has done little to curb his wild and often brilliant plays! § Pini, at nine months into matrimony a comparatively veteran bridegroom, also made his first appearance at the Club as a married man this week. For better or worse, wife Leah and Asher’s wife Miriam both stayed away. § Joel E of LA is in Israel this week and, naturally, at the Club, keeping Division A players on their toes… and, with summer’s end, Club regulars are returning from summer travels, Leslie and Bernard among them. § Chani challenged Scrabble School with 26 valid words that anagram to a US or Canadian state, province or territory when a letter is dropped — MACHINING without one of its Ns becomes MICHIGAN. What about FORGONE, NEUROTOPIC and THUYA?? § Next week, Election Day, it’s Scrabble as usual — so, vote early and wisely (if not often…)
