Congrats to the following winners: Roy Kamen is our 3-game and HCum=2888 winner today.  Pat Reed won the highest game score=1109.  Marian Melendez found the high scoring bingo=149 for REALIZE. Sara Barnes and Nancy Douglas listened to our crooning “HBday” gleefully. Several players were successful in finding the assigned category for each game.  It’s a good sign as it shows that your brain cells are getting stimulated to be more alert.  It’s not just about a high scoring play, but more of thinking about a particular word and the feeling of joy upon playing the word.
