Cheat To Win

Matt Fernandez (AIM) [7:29 PM]
Matt Fernandez (AIM) [7:29 PM] D=
Dan Dickinson (AIM) [7:29 PM] I did the same thing in 1998 against a girl I was playing Scrabble against online, using a program called X-Words Deluxe.
Dan Dickinson (AIM) [7:29 PM] I had bet the girl over the game; whoever lost would have to write the other an 8 page letter.
Matt Fernandez (AIM) [7:30 PM] I did not know this existed
Matt Fernandez (AIM) [7:30 PM] ahahaha
Dan Dickinson (AIM) [7:30 PM] I won, obviously.
Dan Dickinson (AIM) [7:30 PM] She wrote me the letter.
Matt Fernandez (AIM) [7:30 PM] That is so amazing
Dan Dickinson (AIM) [7:30 PM] A year later, I would admit to cheating.
Matt Fernandez (AIM) [7:30 PM] I am gonna hustle people at scrabble now
Dan Dickinson (AIM) [7:30 PM] She would hit me repeatedly.
Dan Dickinson (AIM) [7:30 PM] Three years later, we got married.
Matt Fernandez (AIM) [7:30 PM] =O
Matt Fernandez (AIM) [7:30 PM] That’s so romantic
Dan Dickinson (AIM) [7:30 PM] Shortly after that, I started working full time for the company that made X-Words Deluxe.
Dan Dickinson (AIM) [7:30 PM] I would tell my bosses this story.
Dan Dickinson (AIM) [7:30 PM] They would laugh.
Dan Dickinson (AIM) [7:31 PM] And that concludes Dan Anecdote Hour.

Prognosis

We went to [NYP](http://www.nyp.org/) this morning to get Katie’s ankle looked at. After waiting around the emergency walk-in for a little while, a nurse looked at it and declared it to be 99% likely a sprain. They gave her some crutches and a prescription for some Vicodin if she needed it for the pain.

Katie has never used crutches before and, needless to say, hates them.

Happy/Sad

Happy: When we were at the Gothamist/Six Apart happy hour on Tuesday, we had our picture snapped by youngna, and it came out fantastically. Thanks, youngna – this makes up for all those annoying dodgeball messages! Hee.

Sad: While coming home today, Katie fell down a couple of stairs on the subway. Her foot is not in good shape, and I’m trying my damndest to keep her off it so it can heal; hopefully it’s not anything serious. We had to cancel some evening plans, sadly.
