Clubs are Trumps

So, we just spent a weekend in Michigan with Erika's folks. One of her cousins got married and it was a pretty typical affair. The nicest part was getting to play cards with her family and the boring part was having nothing to read but science papers on the way home.

Here's a couple of pics. The oldies in front of Erika are her grandparents (on Pam's side). We forgot to take the camera to the reception so nothing there.

Clubs are Trumps is a euchre-style card game that involve losing your money. It mounts up in pennies and nickels and if you lose you generally end up paying anything from 30 cents to over a dollar. I think I won about a dollar and 17 cents in my first game, and lost 48 cents in my second. What I like is that they're serious about it, they'll get up and dig every penny they find that counts, like I got my two cents change from Erika for two quarters. Though I hear Chad still owes Doug :-)

I love 'That 70's Show', its the kind that would probably make your spouse roll her eyes when you stop on it while channel-browsing but the quips make me laugh. Here's a classic:

"Wow Hyde, you're serious about this, you're leaning forward, you've got your sunglasses off....you're freaking out man!"
