Last year neighbor Logan (13) wanted to try some new games when he was tired of the old ones. One of my favorites is Boggle, finding words from contiguous letter tiles on a grid. He played it a couple of times, but it didn’t strike his fancy. Weeks later daughter Lise was here, and she invited him to join us in playing the game. This time it appealed to him. We played until she went back to Denmark.

After Logan was here yesterday, I texted Lise, “Logan came over late this afternoon to play Boggle. He won more games than I did, and he certainly had much better words. As he was leaving, he said his goal is to practice on me to get good enough to beat you.”

Of course, Lise and I are delighted. I lose more than I win, but I still enjoy playing the game. Lise is always eager for a challenge. Bring it on, Logan!!
