The Egotist

I'm showing off a little here, but I normally hate Scrabble, then had a great day today. I was playing with Lana and her parents and was able to play 3 different 7-letter words.

First, I tried 'phoners' on my first play, but that was challenged and it wasn't in the Scrabble dictionary. So, I had to keep all the letters. On my next turn, I was able to play 'shoppers', using a 'p' that was already out on the board.

Second, there was 'not' on the board, which I turned into 'snot' to play 'shadier'.

Later, I had the letters to play 'betwixt', which I never looked up in the Scrabble dictionary to see if it was a legel word, but that would have been sweet to play but there was no opening on the board.

Third, to end the game, I took a 'y' on the board to make 'ye', which allowed me to play 'egotist' to end the game.

Final score: Kevin 305, Ann Meyer 87, Lana Meyer 82, Mark Meyer 57. So, I got to kick my father-in-law's butt. He threatened a blanket party, whatever that is.

While I was typing this entry, I heard Lana say from the other room, "He's probably got that big grin on his face while he's typing." Just like Belichick.
