Unboxing

What could that be?

Let’s open it up and see.

A box in a box.

Getting clarity, now!

3… 2…

A Wycliffe Brothers Tournament 23″.

Talk about trouble with the cube…

So, you have probably guessed by now that a new backgammon board came in today. I have a birthday coming up and it sort of just happened…

Purchased during the Labor Day weekend (because, sales), it arrived just about ninety minutes ago. My wife, who we’re calling “B” here, lost the inaugural match. Better her than me.

That brings to three the number of boards I have in the house: a (much) smaller attache board I purchased from a friend for $7, a roll-up leather travel board I purchased for our trip to Italy (and which I take with me, packed away in my computer bag, pretty much everywhere I go), and now this monster.

A guy needs appropriate equipment for tournaments.

Particularly when it’s his birthday. Or birthday-ish. Close counts.
