A serious Scrabulous butt kickin'

105053-1709327-thumbnail.jpgSo 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

It's against the rules to poke Dena. Make a note of it.

If somebody had said to me 3 months ago, "Rhianon just poked you" I'd have looked at them with perplexed ignorance. The last time Rhi did anything related was when we were standing outside Safeco Field before a Mariners game while her husband bought a hotdog, and she bumped me with her butt.
