Great fun, so much so. lean and I are seriously considering extending We split a pair, each a win and a loss. But Christmas Day was difierent. With only two of ourIamily present, the euchre stage was set - a son and his dad against a son and his mother. As it does in our home on the Sabbath. Faced with so great a challenge, the tarnished deck remained out of sight and out of mind. “You’ll bring the wrath of God down on this house," was her ultima- tum should someone as much as_ suggest a game. While many winter nights were spent play- ing euchre around the farm kitchen table, cer- tain rules were strictly enforced. One of these was ‘never on Sundays'. Mother was ’the enforcer. “I'm depending on my partner,” was his usual excuse. More often than not his partner came to his rescue and they some- how managed to squeak through. I come by such per- ilous acts honestly. For my dad would seldom, if ever, ‘turn it down’. I have permanent ankle bruises to prove it. If looks could kill, 1, too, would be dead. Risk-taking for me takes the form of ‘going it alone’ while holding only a trump ace, a nine and a 10. And being euchred. While I've never heard of deaths or deammmaw locally, I'm told these happened regularly dur- ing days of the wild west. But maybe only in the movies. no-no.

The team first acquiring 10 points is the winner. vlove euchre. For those not aware, it’s a card game usually played by four peo- ple, divided by two part- ners.

Maybe. just maybe, a more agreeable atmo- sphere prevails at Lem- onvilie, Ciaremont or Siloam. Ihope so. However, to be on the safe side, i think I’ll search out the basement for an old pair of shin pads. Undercover table kicks can prove painful. But I was there only for the fun. Unfortunately, for me, there was nothing fun about it. As if the grand prize was a pre-paid trip to Pre- toria. "Rouble was, everyone I played with and against, wanted to win. My head was spinning just as fast. There was no time to talk and less time to think To self-protect, I tucked both feet and ankles under my chair. My mind was mush. The pass word was a knuckle-knock on top of the table and deals resembled rotating fans on awindmill. When it came to shuf- fling, they snapped the deck Not that my partners really wanted to know me after I continually dropped cards on the floor. At the last public euchre, the games moved so quickly I had no time to introduce myself. They win regularly, too, a consequence we tend to find intimidating For we've travelled this route before.
