Boy, did the memories start rushing back as I entered the empty lobby. It was as if I had entered a ghost town, but I could see the ghostly figures of familiar names and even the memory of a long gone message from one of the game rooms, "HEY DEM.. come on in.. let's play!" I clicked on the "new game" button and entered the game room... yep there it was... my beautiful rose skins that gave me such calming pleasure as I played my nightly games with friends. As I started my game I kept hoping someone would miraculously pop in, but nope, I just kept playing all alone. I heard myself saying "awwwwwww" as the cuckoo sounded when I put up an unacceptable word, a sound I hated to hear when Block was in full swing, but now I actually miss hearing it. I began to remember all those blind days I had when I couldn't see any good words, not even the word "cat", and then I remembered that one unbelievable day that I won the game on the very first word which was "razmatazz" 286 points I think! That happened only once and never again. BOY was my sister mad cuz she was my opponent at the time, hehehehe, I loved it!! As sad as it was to play that game all by myself, it also gave me pleasure to remember all the hundreds of hours of fun I had and the friends I have made. Block was not JUST a game to most of us, it was socializing with good friends, relaxing, laughing, and having a ball!!! I miss it terribly, but things change in life and that is just the way it is.... but some things NEVER change. I always stunk at the 5 minute practice sessions in Block and I still stink... GAWD 427? That's awful DEM!! LOL
It has been about 4 months since the death of Block and today I decided to play some offline Block, something I haven't done in ages.
