It's frivolous, but I sometimes have to wind down before going to bed. I have a knock off of Scrabble on my desktop called "Scribble" to avoid lawsuits. It's a free app for the desktop with a built in dictionary the computer opponent uses that must be close to the Oxford Unabridged Dictionary! I actually contacted the creator of the game the first of two times I beat the computer (I hardly ever come close, even using my computerized dictionary!) and he assures me that the computer does not "cheat."
Well, anyway I thought I'd post this little "victory" here just so it's out there. I lost, as usual, but I ended well. I seldom come up with the right letters to build 7-letter words, and then I can't place them on the board when I do. This time, two in a row fit -- much to my surprise. The words they made were not ones I even know, so part of it is luck. But I got 137 of 310 points right at the end of the game! I added 6 more points with the last move, finishing "just" 110 points behind! I played hard and "finished well."

Spam filter anomaly
Just thought I'd post this here so I might share a laugh with whoever comes across my blog. Things like this may get me back into blogging (now that I am pretty sure I'm not 'addicted')!
Anyway here it is, from a footnote at "Vision to America":
Due to the word "Socialism" containing the name of a prescription drug, all comments containing the word "Socialism" automatically get flagged for moderation by our anti-spam system. These comments have to be manually approved but they will be posted.
I'll give a discount on my new e-book to the first person to post the name of the prescription drug.
