After losing 2 of 3 Scrabble games to Nick (oddly, I won the one game I was behind on early and lost the two that I had an early lead - go figure), we decided we needed another game and some fresh competition. Bob and Seth heeded our calls, and I found out my "Smeeta-is-bad-luck" hypothesis was correct. :)
We played a game of Settlers first and I won by getting three points on one turn - a wood monopoly, then a city and a single road to gain longest road. Much like the last time we played, Bob could have built a single road on his last turn to win.
Next, we moved to Puerto Rico. I thought Nick had me, but thanks to an overall sound strategy I was able to beat him by two points in the end.
Sadly, the Twins weren't as successful as I was. After two monster games on Friday, they were unable to produce runs on Saturday and today and ended up splitting the series with Chicago, leaving us 7 games back from Detroit and Cleveland going into the All-Star break. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for better luck against Oakland on Thursday. Go Twins!

Just wanted to say hi and let you know we're keeping up with your blog. Miss you both.
I resent being called bad luck ;-)
