So, this game got invented last weekend. I really don't understand the rules but I'm so intrigued by the set up. I have trouble remembering jokes and rules for games. I'm hopeless at card games. Once I get the rules I can't stop playing, but if I stop, darn it, they all drain out of my brain. My daughter patiently tried to explain how you win but it is all too complicated for me. There is still hope, I used to discount scrabble. I used to have a terrible track record. I am on record tyring to get points for "wispygale" but despite this rocky start, I now enjoy a good round of scrabble. Are there any games that you've decided are just not for you?
Despite being an introvert, I do often process big life events (and many many small ones) out loud by verbally hashing out my thoughts with whoever will put up with me. But this morning when I woke up to the big red blotch on the U.S. map...all my /the words fell out. They fell out unsaid, unformed. Got to work and probably , in another time, would have annoyed my co-workers, dominating the conversation with my verbal extrusions, but not today. I just mutely stared across at them and nodded. My dad came for lunch. Normally, we relish a good political diatribe, especially when we feel sure of our perspective, but this time, all I could do was munch on fries and marvel at all the unarticulated thoughts that I was not even bothering to retrieve. The silence inside me was noticeable. Social media was awash with reactions and I just looked away. I couldn't bear to read one word about it. I was not receptive to any reactions, accusations, reflections, words...
