SCRABBLE: Returning Home
I’m back.
It is always fun to get away, go on vacation, and have an adventure. It is sometimes fun and entertaining to play some new game (just for the fun of it.) But if you’re anything like me, it is always special to return home.
Home, for me, represents that which is most comfortable and familiar: a comfortable pair of shoes; the aroma of bread from the oven; long time friends gathered at a scrabble club.
Returning home, for me, this time will have a special twist; I am bringing home a wife and I am now a husband. Everything’s the same, yet everything is different. It is like learning a new step to a dance. At first, the two partners find the movements unfamiliar. They learn the new step and movements to allow their two bodies to move in sync, in a seamless motion. In a short time the new step seems natural and enhances the entire dance.
Being away from scrabble competition for three weeks will probably cost me aplenty. Those who have maintained their regimens will have most likely expanded their word knowledge while my word power has be coasting and losing ground to others. And yet there is always an excitement for me in the act of returning home. Seeing friends and familiar faces, reestablishing comfortable routines, and sleeping in my own bed are a few of the things I cherish.
I look forward to writing my blogs from the easy chair in my living room or at Bruegger’s Bagles or The Corner Bakery over a fresh cup of coffee and a delicious breakfast.
I’ll be anxious to learn how all my friends are doing and sharing my recent adventures with them too.
Be sure to check in on my blogs frequently as I will share a lot of new with you, my readers, right here.
As the wise philosopher Rosannadana would say,
It’s Always Something.
