If it wouldn’t be sacrilegious…

…I would rename the card game euchre to 24. Or I’d call the television show Euchre.

We all know that 24 is the greatest show in the history of television.

We all know that euchre is the greatest game ever invented, cards or otherwise.

Consider this: Jack Bauer is the most powerful person in all of the universe. He destroys everything he comes in contact with.

In euchre, the most powerful card in the game is the “bower” (really should be spelled “Bauer”). The “bower” is a jack. The Jack Bauer is the most powerful card in the euchre universe. It destroys everything it comes in contact with.

If Jack Bauer wasn’t a fictional character, I’d further hypothesize that Jack Bauer invented euchre. Euchre is the greatest game ever, and is a great way to relax after a long, hard day. Who needs a way to relax after a hard day more than Jack Bauer? Nobody, because everyone else is either relieved that Jack Bauer saved them, or they’re dead because they were terrorists.

A reason to blog…

So this summer Chris and the kids and I have gotten a chance to spend more time with Aunt Sue and Uncle Pat. We have had wonderful times there, the kids loooooove to be spoiled by Aunt Sue (and she loves spoiling them), and we have done lots and lots of fun things like going to the zoo, going to the children’s museum, going to rocket park, and going to the Festival of Trees. No matter what, Aunt Sue makes sure the kids have a good time. But when the kids go to bed, the adults break out the cards for some EUCHRE!!!

I will admit that since the dawn of our Euchre games, Sue and I have not had the best of luck… one night Pat and Chris beat us 13-1… GAMES of Euchre. Over time, both Sue and I have gotten braver about calling the trump, and thusly, our games have gotten better. And finally…FINALLY… we have news to report. Today, Aunt Sue and Kate BEAT the men THREE games to ONE!!! That’s right! We won. We might never play again so as not to ruin our record!
