ticket to ride

i've lost my winning streak...

[pic from here]

thomas, emily, and i have played this game a bunch since she came to visit.

i used to think that i was the ultimate rider, 

but my time has since ended.

not only have i lost my winning streak, 

i've lost my ability to play w/o ruining it for someone else

[not on purpose of course!]

i'm just trying to get to my destination 

and i end up derailing someone's train.

they get sad. i don't like making people sad. 

even during games.

but i'm going to keep playing.

my time might come back.

'cause this is one of the best games i've EVER played.

[and i come from a game playing family...]
