Two down, 999 to go

The first two games last night. As usually happens when we start playing again after a break, we were both a little more conservative than we normally are. That fades fast. John killed in the first game and almost broke 600; I did NOT break 300. Some of this was tiles, but some of it was me not seeing GIUSTED# and so forth. It may be like riding a bike, but you also have to remember where the road is.

The second game I drew all the great tiles and barely squeaked out a 25 point win.

But look at the record. It just shows a nice clean 1 to 1.

To be fair, John did play nice words like FIREP(L)UG. For many points.

This is important.

We're about to switch over to all collins all the time (again, yes). Should we start a brand new series? Say -- best of 1000? Or should we merely add on to the lifetime championship series?

There's really only room for one record on the fridge.

Is 1000 games really enough to give a true champ?

No easy answers, I'm afraid.
