A serious Scrabulous butt kickin'
So this weekend I remembered I was in the middle of playing a couple of Scrabulous games on Facebook. I tend to forget such trifles for long stretches at a time. Real life being so interesting, and all. But then I had so much fun when I played my little words, I went on a challenging streak and
