They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but Those Two decided over the weekend to see if they could teach this old cat a new game. It’s something called Mexican Train, which they took up with a passion after learning the game from relatives in Ohio last year.
I don’t really have the patience these days for learning new rules and strategy. Besides, I’m a cat — I make my own rules! Apparently the idea is to string these tiles together in some sort of order, and the person with the fewest points left at the end is the winner. I decided instead to play an abbreviated version of the game in which I just gingerly brushed the tiles off the island and onto the floor, where they landed with quite the bang!
I have to say, the game was kind of satisfying!

Dear Mr. Oxbow, I have to say I agree with you about trying to learn any kind of game…at my advanced age I don’t have the patience for any puzzles, wordle, girdle or anything else that might require time and attention…for what? I prefer soaking up the powerful rays of the sun and dawdling with nothing specfic going in my pretty little head…just soaking up the healing energy of the Quantum Soup…available for free with no “plus” charge tacked on!
