Although I've completely embraced Hermitting as an oldster, I loved hosting parties when I was young.

I'd pay more $20.00

When Trump dies they're going to have to bury him at sea like Osama Bin Laden in order to keep people from pissing on his grave.

<image of a burial at sea, soldiers and the flag. to the left of the flag a coffin appears to be headed to the water.>

 Either that or charge people $20.00 each for the right to piss on his grave and fund everything we ever wanted...

Veareak Laeung Sak: Third Day of Khmer New Year

Veareak Laeung Sak, the Khmer name for the third day of New Year celebrations, is dedicated to a cleansing ritual involving Buddha statues and the senior family members.

The ritual employs perfumed water and shares the same symbolism as the use of water throughout the New Year festivities: washing away the misdeeds and words of the past year to pave the way for a brighter new year. This act also represents kindness and care, believed to bring happiness, prosperity, longevity, and joy.

For those who may have taken a brief pause from the water fights and talcum powder sprinkling on the second day, the third day offers a chance to rejoin the fun with those who never stopped.

From the afternoon through to the evening, venturing outdoors on wheels becomes almost impossible without being drenched in water and dusted with what remains of the talcum powder.

It is wet and water splashing everywhere, by people throwing water from bucket and shooting from water guns. The couple walks hand in hand bending over and keeping up hands and arms to shield themselves from the worst of water splashes.

Celebrating Scrabble Day: A Timeless Game of Strategy and Language

April 13th marks Scrabble Day, a celebration honouring the birthday of its ingenious inventor, Alfred Mosher Butts. This beloved board game, which first emerged in 1938, was born from Butts’ desire to create a new twist on an earlier word game he called Lexico. Scrabble combines elements of strategy and creativity, allowing players to compete by forming words from lettered tiles on a game board. The interlocking words resemble a crossword puzzle, adding an extra layer of challenge and engagement to the game.

In 1948, the game was transformed when James Brunot acquired the rights and rebranded it as “Scrabble,” a term that means “to scratch frantically.” This new name brilliantly described the excitement and intensity of gameplay, as players race against each other to maximize their scores. The introduction of features like blank tiles and triple word scores further enhanced the strategic depth of the game, making it appealing to word enthusiasts and casual players alike.

Playing Scrabble as a child was a formative experience for me, as it opened my eyes to the complexities and beauty of language. Each game was not just about forming words on a board; it was a dance of strategy and creativity, where the right combination of letters could yield not only points but also a sense of accomplishment.

I was fascinated (and still am) by the way words could be constructed, deconstructed, and manipulated to convey meaning, sparking a lifelong appreciation for the power of language and communication. Those moments spent with family and friends, challenging each other to think critically and expand our vocabularies, laid the groundwork for my love of reading and writing. Scrabble taught me that words hold immense potential and that every letter carries a story waiting to be told.

Thank you for celebrating Scrabble Day with me,

Rebecca

Yesterday I was happy to see a lion dance performed by people in a traditional Chinese lion costume. This was entertainment for tourists in San Francisco, and for anyone else who stopped to look at their artistry. I also saw improvements to Union Square, making it a more attractive place for tourists to visit.
