Chicago Cribbage Rematch 2022!
Since it has been almost a year since we last played Chicago Cribbage, we decided it was high time to break the laws of cribbage again. Short story—I won this year. Sena won last year, so we’re even. We played to 61 because the game can take an eternity to play using the Chicago cards:…

Attention, I have announcements! We got a message today about our Sasquatch Cribbage Board. It is being carved! The Amaryllis flower, Star of Holland, which will be red with white accents, is now 9 inches tall! Deer are feasting in our back yard even as I write this! Sena and I had a Chicago Cribbage…

I Got Skunked in Cribbage!
It’s not common to get skunked in cribbage—but it happened to me yesterday. Sena has a way of getting very high scoring hands and this led to her winning the first of three games in a big way. I was stuck well behind the skunk line. This led to some questions by both of us…

Going for the Juggler Gold Trophy!
I’ve been working on my juggling form—and it’s only somewhat improved, but I’m getting 30 throws (good for the personal Gold Trophy milestone) without dropping more consistently just since yesterday. I’ve got about a dozen video clips with me getting at least 30 throws, one with 36 although I’m weaving, lunging, rearing, rocking and rolling…

My Cribbage Losing Streak and My Review of the Cribbage Classic Computer Game
Sena and I played cribbage yesterday and, of course she won. She has been on a spectacular winning streak. She got a hand score of 21. I don’t know what I’m going to have to do to come up with a win. Cheat? I could keep extra cards up my sleeves and elsewhere, but I…

Jim and the 3 Ball Flash
Well, just a few days after picking up a kit on how to juggle, complete with 3 juggling balls, I’ve now graduated to the 3 Ball Flash, which I can more or less do consistently—or at least more times than not. The 3 Ball Flash is to toss and catch 3 balls. You hold two…

Learning to Juggle!
I’m learning to juggle—sort of. I bought a kit for juggling at Barnes and Noble the other day. It came with a manual, Learning to Juggle, and 3 juggling balls. The manual is published by Sterling Innovation in New York. So far, I can sort of juggle 2 balls. I don’t know when or if…

Eat More Brain to Play Zombie Cribbage Game
We finally played our Zombie Cribbage game in honor of upcoming Halloween this month. We filmed it on an interesting sort of high-top table with just enough room on it for the board and playing cards. Zombie Cribbage is played on a on a 61-hole cribbage board, replete with images of creepy bony fingers poking…

Cribbage Classic on the Web
I’ve been playing an on-line version of the cribbage game called Cribbage Classic for a short while. This is a short review. I’m far from an expert. Sena and I play cribbage fairly often. We just played a set of 3 games not long ago and we both played very well, I thought. I had…

Cribbage Tee Shirts!
Sena got me a couple of cribbage themed T-shirts and they arrived yesterday. One of them is perfect for a retiree like me. The other has an image of the perfect 29 hand. It’s also perfect for me, not because I’ve ever had a 29 hand, but because I’ll take any lucky talisman I can…
