Not that I would ever gloat or anything, but I am proud to say that I kicked Jason’s ass at Rummy last night. You may recall that Jason and I get together every week or two for some fierce Rummy playing (while watching 80’s music videos). Last night, while enjoying some chestnuts such as “Hippie Hippie Shake” by Georgia Satellites (from the Tom Cruise film, Cocktail), Jason and I ate a Karl-style* home-cooked meal and some tasty cannoli while partaking in the Rummy ritual.<\/P>

I must admit it was close for a while. In fact, he was in the lead after a few hands. But in the end, I distracted him enough by allowing him to watch “Smokey and the Bandit” (for some reason, he loves that movie) so that I ultimately won the game with a nearly 300 point lead (1,005 to 745). <\/P>

Perhaps now I’ll want to play more frequently since I know I can actually win. Apparently, I just need to plan the evening around the bad 70’s movies he loves.<\/P>

*Karl-style = not inventive and with limited flavor, yet still reasonably nutritious. I even had all four stove-top burners going! I’ll show you some adventures in gastronomy, baby!<\/P>
