but wait, some don't like to lose at cards

Oft times, I like to spend at least part of my weekends visiting with friends and going out for coffee. It seems that usually, this is the sum total of my social life.

This afternoon started as most weekend afternoons do, with me inquiring of a friend about his availability to sip of the coffee nectar. Things looked hopeful. He had things to do, and then, perchance, a cup could be had.

The phone rang.

There was to be no coffee.

Foiled again.

There was actually something much better.

We were invited instead to his house along with another couple and their daughter for an evening of cards. This not being something we have done in a while, we collectively jumped at the chance to do so.

This was the best "foiled again" in a long time.

Watch this one - meek and mild on the outside, she is a terminator when it comes to winning. Duck and run.

Deceptively still. Look out.

The grin hides a true poker face - no one but no one can hide her hand like my sweetie can

But wait....

Someone does not like to lose...

Not even a little bit. The Force is not even enough to contain her rage.

Heads will not roll, they will explode.
