A Ridiculously Good Game

In the Summer, we sometimes start the day off (after chores) with a bird game (Wingspan) and we often end the day with a bird game throughout the year.  I've written about it before, but if you don't recall this is a chance for Tammy and I to remember that we are not completely defined by our workplaces or the farm.  Instead, we are defined by the birds that we play in our three habitats!

Ok, no.  That's not really why we play the game regularly.  Well, the first part is - we are reminding ourselves that we are allowed to spend some time together doing something we enjoy.  It doesn't all have to be about getting feed to birds, irrigating crops, prepping syllabi, preparing for webinars and all of that other stuff we so often find ourselves doing.

Sometimes it's about getting both a Chihuahuan Raven and a Kildeer early in the game and finding a way to parlay that into 173 points.

Let's just say that it was a busy (and fun) game for both of us.  Even if Tammy is a bit sad about losing when she finished with 133 points.

For those who do not know the game, we regularly land in the 85 to 110 point range.  To exceed 120 is considered a very good game.  130+ is a rare exceptional game.

173 is.... ridiculous.  And we both know it.

Now, before you think the wrong thing, you should know that I also own the lowest score for this game too - and it's ... ahem... a little over 100 points lower than this one.  Apparently, my style of play is much more volatile than Tammy's is.

But, we both still enjoy playing and we tend to split the wins evenly.  

Though I might want to bask just a little bit longer after this one.
