LISA DENTON: You know, Barry, if we were many, many years younger (sigh), we could take part in something fun at the Chattanooga Public Library this weekend.
The downtown branch on Broad Street is hosting a Board Game Bonanza from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday. They’ll be playing a bunch of the classics, like Risk, Monopoly, Life, Clue and Scrabble – the original wireless games.
I especially love Scrabble. I even buy the Scrabble Cheez-Its. I would eat them with alphabet soup, but that just seems like overkill.
Unfortunately for us, the Bonanza is for youths 10-18, and we haven’t been able to pass for that age in about, oh, three decades now.
BARRY COURTER: Speak for yourself. I wasn’t always blond you know. Actually, I started going blond at about 16. Called it a birthmark – in my hair – then. As for you and your Cheez-Its, I bet you won’t eat a handful of them if the word comes out misspelled. Your brain won’t let you do it, will it?
