DSL

Current DC SOWPODS League activity is still confined to the Kitchen at John&Marsh's, but it's exciting and mind-expanding. (Honestly, it's partly Simon's recuperation that has us playing more. He's not supposed to jump on furniture for 2 weeks, and the kitchen is really the only room that he can freely hang out in.)

Anyway, we're playing. We noted tonight that we are playing a game using a world dictionary on a custom board with protiles and a samtimer clock, a homemade bag, and 2 blue plastic racks that predate Hasbro. We play a (memorized) version of the tournament rules developed by world organizations, and we use our own self-designed scoresheets. And roller ball pens. We note a lot of things here at DC SOWPODS League headquarters.

We should develop a logo, and a motto! I love mottoes.

I won both games tonight with the help of the magic tile bag fairies.
