Tonight we finished our game. Its been 16 months, I’ll admit, we thought it would take longer. It was Christmas break 2008, and Heather got snowed in at my house. In order to escape boredom we started a two person game of rummy … playing to 10,000. If you don’t know, an average hand of rummy gets each person about 100 points … so you can see how many games we have had to play. Pretty much every time we have seen each other in the past year and half we have played, even if it just for like 15 minutes. It’s been what we did!
About a month ago I realized that we needed something to play for. So we created this: If I won, Heather had to make me any dinner I wanted and get me a shirt that declared my winning. If Heather won, I have to go on any hike she wants for a weekend campout.
Heather won. I played “We are the Champion's” and she did a happy dance. She told me I need to start working out cause we are going hiking soon. I am a little scared. But then, I realized that an overnight hiking trip is on my list too, #9.
Final score? 10,100 to 9,825. Now that we are done … what are we going to do when we are together? Well … we are looking at starting a new game … just not rummy. Oh, and I plan on winning this time.
