Jim on a Winning Streak on the Bigfoot Cribbage Board
Ever since we got the Bigfoot cribbage board, I’ve been winning. If you believe in lucky streaks, I’m on one. However, Sena wins most of the time when we play on the jumbo cribbage board. Is it the Bigfoot cards? Is it the Bigfoot pajamas? Sena was so overwhelmed she put her house slippers on…

Jim Learns About Induction Cooktops
I’m learning about induction cooktops. I know I’m way late in the game. The house we bought a little over two and a half years ago came with an induction cooktop. It’s the first one we ever had; we always used gas or electric stoves. The main topic here are the noises including clicking noises…

Christmas Day 2022 Antics!
Christmas Day at our house was a lot of fun. I got a coffee mug that specifies the importance of cribbage. Sena got a throw that sort of complements the throw she got me on our anniversary. Those throws add a lot to the ambience in the room. And the coffee mug really speaks to…

Is That Patty on Our Sasquatch Cribbage Board?
Sena wondered if anybody ever talks about female Sasquatch creatures. That reminded me that our Sasquatch cribbage board has an image of Bigfoot that looks familiar. I looked up the Patterson-Gimlin video on YouTube. The creature caught on video has been called Patty. If you compare Patty in the video with the image carved into…

Announcements!
Today, I almost got a 29-hand playing cribbage with Sena. Almost is kind of like a fish story about the one that got away. I got dealt a Jack of hearts, and 3 fives, the heart, club, and diamond. If the Jack of heart had been in my hand and the 5 of hearts had…

I have announcements that you don’t want to miss! We got our Sasquatch cribbage board and it is gorgeous. We hope to have a YouTube video of us playing a game in a day or two. The Amaryllis Star of Holland continues to open, almost before our eyes. It’ll probably be in full bloom before…

Jokers Wild in Cribbage!
We tried out using jokers wild in cribbage yesterday. Sena won best of 3 games, even though I was dealt the joker the most times. I had the joker at least 4 or 5 times. On the last hand of the third deal, she won because she had a joker. What do I have to…

Fun Cribbage Variations!
We’re trying out some cribbage variations. One of them is the old 5-card variant that was probably the original version of cribbage. That makes it historically important. I think it might still be the preferred version in some regions of Britain and Australia. It’s simpler to play and is faster. You play to 6, but…

Announcements!
Hey, I got best 2 out of 3 cribbage games last night. Sena got skunked! That is rare. Our Sasquatch cribbage board just shipped yesterday. It’ll arrive in a few days! The Amaryllis Star of Holland grows by about a half inch or more a day. It’s now almost 14 inches tall! Have a great…
