  • Cribbage 29 Board Rematch!

    Cribbage 29 Board Rematch!

    Today Sena and I held the Cribbage 29 board rematch and it was unparalleled in the history of the universe! We shot a video of it and posted it on YouTube. It’s about 28 minutes long and we had a blast playing the game. The last time we played on the 29 board was a…

  • Pegging Around Wisconsin

    Pegging Around Wisconsin

    We played a game on our new Wisconsin cribbage board. We made some miscounts I’m sure, but it was because we had so much fun talking. We lived in Madison for a short time many years ago and managed to see quite a few sights in the south-central region of the state. And even after…

  • Wisconsin Cribbage Board Arrives

    Wisconsin Cribbage Board Arrives

    We got the Wisconsin state map cribbage board yesterday and there’s a little story behind it, right off the bat. It was delivered by the United States Postal Service (USPS) and I remember the slap as it hit our porch from the USPS worker just tossing the package. When we opened the package, it turned…

    Iowa State Map Cribbage Board Size Matters?

Despite the icy conditions yesterday, our Iowa State map cribbage board was delivered. One of the first things Sena said about it was, “I…

  • Happy Valentine’s Day!

    Happy Valentine’s Day!

    Happy Valentine’s Day! Boy, are you guys lucky! I woke up yesterday morning with the crazy idea of making a video of me singing “L-O-V-E.” You know, the one Nat King Cole made famous. What do you mean, “No, what are you talking about?” No kidding, though; I even cleared my throat a couple of…

  • Unboxing Tile Lock Scrabble

    Unboxing Tile Lock Scrabble

    I just wanted to alert you about the unboxing of the Tile Lock Scrabble game (Hasbro). Sena and I used to play scrabble back in the day, but for the past few years, I’ve been reluctant because the typical board can usually be positioned only so one player can see it right side up. The…
