We start off a penny or a nickel a point for every point you lose by. If it gets fierce, that can go up to a dollar.
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

Thanks for all the fish.
I get the feeling that I'm being hustled....

If I was hustling, I'd innocently invite myself along, saying I'd like to learn how to play.
Then I'd suggest we make it 'interesting' by playing for money.
Then you'd be handing over both your cats and the deed of your house to me.
But really, I'm not that good.

Thanks for all the fish.
Oh, well, in that case... Let's make it interesting...

Anyway, with all this boasting, how can I not do anything but lose every game?

Good night, Elena...it's time to stop procrastinating and go to sleep.

Thanks for all the fish.
Yes, it's far too late for you to still be up. Sleep well.

Your cat scan is Tuesday, right? And the ENT appointment on Thursday.
CT scan this morning, ENT Wednesday afternoon. =)
You both read that B and I *just* learned how to play cribbage, right? We certainly won't be kicking any asses or betting any money!
Well, that's not entirely fair. My sister and i used to play and every hand we would count "15-2, 15-4, 15-6, and a pair is 8". We had a lot of ties.
Better run... I have to get over to Dartmouth to see if there's anything in my head.

Had the CT. It only took 5 minutes. Much quicker than I expected.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Wow, that's not that bad! I hope that they're similarly speedy with getting you the results. (I originally wrote "equally speedy" but decided that was asking a bit much.)
I have never ever played cribbage. Also I try to avoid competitive games because I find bloodlust leaves a nasty aftertaste. I'm sure I'd enjoy being a tournament spectator, though.
I'm free every evening except Fridays and early Thursdays.
