Simple Pleasures …
… finally locating a good Scrabble game for the Mac. It cost me twenty clams, but I’ve been trying to get something like this for years.

Dearest Matt—
Please don’t be angry with me, but I must ask why an online version is in any way superior to the “real world” version?
Don’t we all lose something ineffably human when we eschew the joys of friendly face-to-face competition, with the attendant cardboard box, pencils scratching out scores, and those lovably low-tech wooden tiles?
Just wondering.

No to mention a superb opponent (a.k.a. Me)!

Well, I just use the computer game to supplement the real version - not to replace it. Stop gettin’ on my case, Dad!!

Big Hugs and Deep Regrets– I’m knee- deep in poop these days and am growing unaccustomed to the outside world.
Plus I would give serious money for eight
hours of continuous slumber…You guys wanna come over and babysit a while…?
I’ll give you unlimited milk and Oreos!

Hey Matt,
I use the Scrabble CD software (for Mac) that comes in a trio package with Risk and Monopoly. Needless to say, Risk and Monopoly never get played. All Scrabble all the time.
