National Word With Friends Day 2024

The gift of gab has always been mine. I have been known to converse into the wee hours of the mornings. There was a time when I considered everyone my friend and I wanted to be involved in most activities. I'm afraid that age has quieted me down.

Nowadays I have time for few friends but those relationships I maintain are good friends. We often share words periodically. They may be trivial moments of busybody banter or discussion of earth shattering concepts and technical subject matter expertise.

I am not the chatterbox I once was, however.

Today is National Word With Friends Day. It goes down each July 19 annually is a day that commemorates a game called "Words With Friends" with which I am unfamiliar.

The literature has it sounding scrabblesque and those days passed for me about 20 years back. Yeah, I'll gab with you but no board games, please.

So if you like the game fine. I personally prefer the concept but to each their own. If you have a friend I hope you hold them close. I failed to do so in the past and lost a few persons I once cherished greatly.

Such is life.
