Tonight, Ray took me to join him with his other card group. Rather than going to the senior housing center, we went to the house of one of the women with home he works. All of the people who play are bus monitors with Ray, and I know most of them from the Friday morning breakfasts they have every other week. They are also big supporters in my campaign.

They play Michigan Rummy, which is both easy and complex. The image above has the game board, and you can win any number of ways during each hand. It is mostly a game of luck, but the great part is that it was just fun to play.

We played from 5:30 - 8:30 pm. It took me a few rounds to get caught up on how to play, but once I was there, I could relax a little bit and enjoy the conversation. The great thing si that everyone is pretty good natured about playing, and no one takes it too seriously.

On a side note, if you were wondering how I was doing with my class stuff, I have graded 2 out of 17 papers. I did finish the lectures I needed and provided a few other grades that had do be done this week. As you can see, I am definitely not overworking this semester!
