[stylist] does anyone

[James Canaday M.A. N6YR]

dear April,
I have a scrabble set with the raised lines on the board and brailled 
tiles, probably same model, about the same vintage.
unfortunately, my wife is a singer and so I don't often get to play 
scrabble.  it is a wonderful game.  and English has so many 
interesting words.

cloven: older english for  split or seperated.  interestingly, in the 
king james Bible english, "cleave" can mean stick together or split 
apart.  "shall leave his father and his mother and cleave unto his wife."

my wife did however, take to poker when I taught it to her.
