I won August!

Mumsey, aka my mother, aka Grandma Eck, aka great grandma, made a valiant effort this month. There were times when she might have been 6 or so games behind, but the final score for August was 16 to 15. Thrills galore during the month.

6th Win!

I won again today but so far I am alive. My mother is disgruntled but still has hope for a future win.

Yikes!!!

I am ahead 5 games this month and it is only the 5th! Check in tomorrow to see if I am still alive or if she has broken my winning streak. Too bad my luck only applies to the daily cribbage. Or at least this momentary lucky run.

What I have discovered

The daily cribbage game is much like the rest of life, best kept in the moment. Many times in July, I thought I should write about the just finished game. There never was the spark needed to relive the thrill of the moment. Yes, there were many peaks and valleys along the way to the final deciding moment on July 31. There just was never the energy to tell the story. The thrill in the moment expended all available energy. Thus I leave you on the edge of your seats for most likely a very long time. I will tell you that July was most unusual in that on the 30th we were tied 15 to 15. It truly was a cliffhanger month! I did win on the 31st and have now won both the 1st and the 2nd of August. Hope my mother wins tomorrow or she will be getting exceedingly agitated! And we do not want that!!!! And I cannot even comfort her with the news that she is ahead in the months of the year as so far I have that honor. So until next time, whenever that might be, you can trust in the fact that the daily cribbage is very much alive and living in the thrill of the moment!!!!!!
