I have no problem paying for extra postage, hopefully it arrives, we will see what happens. Maybe we can do another board if you have extras just in case. Let me know your thoughts on that.

Scrabble, one of the world’s best-loved word games, is to get a new “collaborative” and “accessible” version. The game has been around for more than 75 years, entertaining and infuriating players in equal measure with the simple premise of competing to see who can make the highest scoring words from a random selection of letters.

Well I will be 76 in 2045 and by then I will be allowed to enter the USA without issues (anytime after 2033), so I am good. The place to be on 2045 is Little Rock as that is the X point as this year one passed through it, just like Carbondale was the X point this year for having the previous experience as well. If we both have not kick the bucket by then, we should meet up in Little Rock with our TI99 systems it would be sure one less item on our bucket list!
