While in Lubbock, Rob introduced us to an iPhone game called Words with Friends. It's an interactive version of Scrabble. I loaded a copy on Barb's iTouch ($2) and we've been playing ever since,You take turns playing against one other person, but you can have multiple games going with multiple people at the same time. It's asynchronous - you can make your move and check back later to see what the other person played. Since I'm borrowing Barb's iTouch to play, I don't get that many chances to play during the day. Hmmm. This may be the tipping point, iTouch wise.
Fun game, I recommend it, but that's not really why I am writing about it. Rob and I have played 4 games. At the moment, it's divided evenly with 2 wins each. However, I think I can assure you that I am unhappier with my two losses than Rob is with his. In, fact, earlier when he was laying down 4-letter words worth 50 points each Barb texted him to let him know he was upsetting his father!
I pride myself on my vocabulary. I have always scored high in word usage; I breeze through verbose and arcane tomes while reading for the blind. I know a slew of words! A veritable plethora of words! So how is it that
That's my boy!

I have an M.Div. I think that qualifies you for knowing all kinds of arcane words!
And what amazes me is that in the last 5 games my friend Trent and I have played - the difference in score for ALL of them combined has been 11 points.
Your turn, by the way.
I know where there is a gently used 8gb iPod Touch for sale - she bought a 32gb so she could put more games on it! She's saving for an iPad. (I am not the person - don't want an iPad, want an iPhone)
And if it is any consolation, your daughter just dropped an 83 point word on me. Sigh...
And is it bad that when I see the word verification word, I think "Hmmm, you could spell..."
Umm, yes. She bingoed her first word in my game - all 7 letters.
