Fin!

Greetings,

The 10,000 point Uno game with the son is now in the books.  Here is a picture of all the scoresheets for both the son’s game and the 10,000 point game with the daughter…

Except for the son’s 4th sheet of paper, these are all covered front and back, (3) columns per page, (25) games per column.  The game with the son came to an end on game 463.  I led for all 463 games…

Other than a scare or two around games 70, 150 and 325, my lead was not in danger.  In the end his goal (which he accomplished) was to lose by less points than his sister.  My margin of victory was about half of the daughter's game so he claimed that he was “twice as good” as her.  I pointed out that it would be more correct to say “half as bad” but either way, he lost.  I am not sure where we go from here.  The fun has wore off for Uno for us.  Maybe a 3 way game with different rules going to a lower point total like 5,000 points.

This is the 3rd night in a row that the wife has worked all evening.  She has to work tomorrow too unfortunately.  This kids are not adjusting well.  One night with dad is OK, 3 or 4 nights in a row is a little much.  We have started a project that we are keeping a secret from Mommy and it should take us a week or two to complete it.  I will have to fill you in when we are finished.
