Day 454: Yahtzee!

Mom doesn't really like to play games, but luckily, while I was home I found a game that she loves to play and another way to keep us connected while I'm here. The name of the game as you can probably guess from the title is Yahtzee! For those of you who don't know, it's a dice game where you try to roll certain combinations in order to score a lot of points. You're probably wondering how mom and I can play this game from 615 miles away. It's the magic of the iPhone technology. There is an app called Yahtzee with Buddies. It takes Facebook or your email to connect you with other people in a digital gaming world. Therefore, I start a game here and make a turn, and then, it gets sent to mom. Whenever she is able to make her move, she does and then it goes back to me. Thinking about how technology connects us is just mind blowing. Back in the day that Yahtzee came out who would have ever thought that you would one day be able to play a game with somebody 615 miles away. It's mind blowing. Mom always complains that she doesn't win, but she has beaten me occasionally because the whole game is nothing but luck. Whenever, I see that it's my turn to play a game with mom, I get so excited that I just want to yell Yahtzee!
