Old dogs and new tricks!

      Card games have not been a large part of my life. In the Marines, and especially aboard ship, many Marines would play for hours. Not Ed and Al. However, lately, in my dotage, I've taken up cribbage. Why would an old duffer do that? There was an external motivating factor. That factor is named Tom. Tom's a friend and a cribbage enthusiast. He asked if I play cribbage and when I said no he was disappointed. He was disappointed because he didn't have a cribbage partner. 

    Well...in that case I could learn and he's an excellent teacher. So, when I'm at the OFH he comes over for lunch and then we play cribbage. The cribbage is okay but the friendship is priceless. Anita heard us talking about it in church and was interested in learning so we included her in the lunch-cribbage scenario. 

  Lisa's here for the weekend and also learning cribbage so.......

Takk for alt,

Al
