“You can while away the hours conferrin’ with the flowers, consultin’ with the rain.”
So sang our old friend Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz.
Of course, he didn’t have a brain.
When I run out of constructive things to do online, I while away the hours playing a game called Bookworm.
What a perfect segue from my last post!
Try it. You might like it. But I warn you:
It’s addicting.
It’s frustrating.
It’s downright infuriating.
It’s all of the above.
It can even be fun, especially when you find you have reached Grand Archivist level and are no longer a lowly Encyclopedia Salesman.
Mrs. RWP, on the other hand, goes for Spider Solitaire and Mahjongg.
Offline, we like Mexican Train Dominoes and Skip-Bo and Phase 10.
What games do you like to play, and why do you like them?
I remind you again that this is a family-friendly blog, so keep your answers G-rated.
"While away the hours"? I thought you were about to launch into another song, specifically "The Games People Play."

In their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine"
Bookworm: Oh no, it's fantastic! Now I have another addiction!

We're an old fashioned board game family, Bob. Nothing nicer than a child's screech of triumphant laughter as they realise that they've taken the spot on the Scrabble board that you were aiming for, swiped your draughts men off the board or gained a large pile of property at Monopoly. xx
