         My Scrabble© Score is: 20. What is your score? |
My friend Phil sent this to me because he knows that I like to play Scrabble. Also, he’s the Executive Director of Information Technology for the Pasadena Unified School District — computer code and internet, words and spelling — makes sense to me. Anyway, I come by the Scrabble affinity naturally as my mother is a Scrabble Queen. She even knows words that the English allow but are not found in our American Scrabble dictionaries. Many years ago Phil and I played a game of Scrabble with my mother, and all I had on hand was a regular dictionary. We doubted many of her words — jo comes to mind — but later found them all to be valid in the official Scrabble dictionary. She won, of course. I prefer to remember the day I beat Phil at Scrabble — I was in the hospital, dopey on pain killers….he must have let me win, but swears he didn’t.
