See the word "M-U-T-I-L-A-T-E" up in the right hand corner of the Scrabble board in the above picture?
That was my coup de grace in a winning game with opponent Wesley Slocum in Calgary on October 23. The word spread across two triple tile scores and used all 7 letters on my rack, and the play counted for 149 points. That play truly won the game for me as Wesley had a 120 point lead on me prior to that coup de grace play. Wesley was a nice guy about the good word find and even took a picure of me with the board to bring home to Colorado!
A highlight of the week was going to the Saskatoon Berry Farm west of Calgary for lunch and a look-around. The saskatoon berry cobbler was a favorite dessert and is local to the area. Yum.
Thanks, Darlene, for your hospitality and to the Calgary Scrabble Club for hosting the 14th Annual Western Canadian Scrabble Championship last week in Alberta. A great time was had by all 95 participants in four divisions of tournament play.
