There is a kind of order in the world.

I lost a last game of online Scrabble with Godzilla5555 because I ended up with the letters: I,I,I,E,E,O,O (consistently) for the last seven turns of the game. But now, every turn includes a letter of 5 or more and the double/triple word spots are opening up just for me. I know it's geeky, but it makes me feel certain of some sort of balance in the world. And I've been doubting that lately.

Thanks, online Scrabble, for giving me a glimmer of optimism.

(And yes, that Scrabble board is supposed to look like a portrait of Abe Lincoln. I just thought it was cool. I'm not relating Lincoln to balance in the universe. Not directly, anyhow.)
