Hi, I'm Mike T's wife, Kristen. He suggested I join this group to keep up on all the neat projects he does for you guys. Anyway, I have been telling him for...
That's a very generous offer, Kristen. I imagine there will be a lot of that running around type stuff to do. If Howlett and I ever get around to taking the ...
I've been really busy lately with work, choir and church stuff... I think I'm going to defer to Howlett and whoever else wants to do it... I might like to be...

I finally got back into the groove of writing the summary. Hope you all enjoy it. http://utahscrabble.com/meetings/2006-04-05.shtml...
Good job Victor. I like the nicknames- I didn't know I was the "Big Cat" (grrroww). So what's your moniker, Victor. May I suggest: 1. The Manila Mauler 2....
Just a thought from the Big Dog. In many competitions like bowling and golf handicapping is used to level the playing field, giving everyone an almost equal...
If we level the playing field, then how does that affect club ratings? If I suddenly increase my chances of beating the Big Dog, Thelen, or anyone else with a...
... Yeeeahhh... I'm pretty skeptical. It might be interesting to try. As far as a handicapping system for Scrabble goes, I like the one you've suggested....
I like Big Dog's idea. Let's give it a whirl. With such a system leveling the field, everyone would have a theoretically equal chance at winning the night. ...

Well, I'm never known for my tact but I'll make every attempt at it, sarcasm being deeply ingrained. I'm game to try anything, but I don't have the interest. I...

... I hope you don't think you've offended or insulted me... you haven't. ... like Mike H's idea of keeping track of the true score and handicap score...
