Darn it. Yes, I was trying to recall how you play that particular card game, when I saw it offered as a free app on my IPad. Without instruction or monumental recall, I am relearning a game my father taught me pre-college. You know the brain cells are being stretched a wee bit further!
I understand card play well from my infant years. Okay, childhood. I remember being around age ten and sitting at the adult table playing pitch with my aunts and uncles. My dad always encouraged me to go for it, but I was shy around the elders, wanting to impress them. I did not, on this one memorable occasion, “shoot the moon.” Obviously, I should have. Perhaps that incident is the reason I sometimes antagonize my bridge-playing friends. If any of you readers happen to fall into that category, I apologize for my genetic bent and my impatience at times. Ahem.
Anyway, the Euchre app assigns you a partner automatically. Guess the name of my cohort? Yes, my father’s name, Jerry. It’s really fun to play with Dad again!
No apology necessary!!!
Oh my gosh. I can still hear your dad say “Shoot the moon” around the card table. Laughter followed and everyone waited to see what would happen next. Such happy times!
