So, after 15 years, it turns out I am a geek.

I am certain that I am not alone in this...back "fifty years ago" as I like to say - I used to care if people thought i was "cool". Clearly I was pretty much the ultimate of "cool" when I was in high school, in case you were wondering. However, I think that I was fooling pretty much everyone....I have to state here that it turns out i actually might be a geek.


I just beat mmh in scrabble and i am on a scrabble winning streak...and I am pretty damn proud of it. I've won the past three games mmh and I have played. I recently said with pride that i scored "like 66 points using 'finch' - a type of bird" at work and some folks pointed out that they've never even played scrabble. I was pretty offended when they asked me if I did crossword puzzles - seriously scrabble and crossword puzzles are not really the same game for god sake.

After reflecting on how i somehow evolved into somehow who likes to play scrabble and gets offended when someone accuses me of doing crossword puzzles, I am starting to worry that i am a geek. Note - we drank kir royales during the game- so at least we are drunk geeks (we= assumes mmh was a geek to begin with...masters in math pretty much earns the geek label).
