Update on the Cribbage Go Rule and More!
I just discovered a little more about the Go Rule in Cribbage. It turns out that it’s easy to over think it. I found a few websites that state it more clearly than what I have recently found and posted about last Friday, January 17th. Probably the simplest explanation is a pdf document of rules…

The Go Rule in Cribbage
Sena and I have been playing cribbage for a number of years but only recently have we begun to question the “Go rule.” I’ve looked on the web for clarification about how to use the Go, and found conflicting guidance.

Connection Between Cribbage and Obituaries?
Just for fun today (which is New Year’s Day of 2025) after Sena and I played a few games of cribbage, I searched the internet using the term “cribbage in Iowa.” I found a local newspaper story entitled “There’s No Crying in Cribbage.

“Muggling” Through Muggins in Cribbage

Single Leg Sit to Stand Redux
Well, we’ve been working on the single leg sit to stand exercise. After I did a little more reading about it, I think it’s really an exercise for runners. We don’t run, but this seems more like a game when you do it together. It’s a lot easier to do if you find a seat…

Making Life in the Hotel Livable
We’ve been in the hotel a couple of weeks now. We’ll probably be here 2 months until our house is built. Making it livable is about keeping it simple. While we were busy packing and moving out of our old house, we got away from regular habits that helped keep us happier and at least…

Annual Kickball Challenge Tonight: Psychiatry Residents vs Faculty
I almost forgot to announce the annual KickBall Challenge, which is tonight! This used to be called Matball, but is now called Kickball. It starts with pizza at 6 pm and then the barfing starts at 7 pm. Just kidding! Usually this event is marked by extreme heat and humidity, but I gather it may…
