…with Gary Moss

Some people tell me that I have way too much time on my hands.

I find musing and writing much superior to watching the tube and exercising.

So on this first rainy day of the season, in southern California, I’m holed up at The Corner Bakery Cafe, eating breakfast and pounding on my keyboard.

Today I rewrote the ‘Pledge of Allegiance’ and the ‘Preamble’ the way I think a scrabble player may have written them.

I pledge conformity to the Rules of the North American Scrabble Players Association, and to the Game for which it stands, one lexicon, the OWL2, providing opportunity and challenges for all.

We the players of NASPA, in order to form a more perfect competition, establish fairness, insure no Q’s on the floor under the table, provide for impeccable word adjudications, promote the general warfare, and secure the blessings of blanks to ourselves and our very best friends (when they are playing others), do unanimously tout CLUB #350 as one of the most outstanding clubs in the United States of America.
