Dominoes forever🙃

 Only a domino lover can appreciate, not only the joy of the game, but also how much it keeps the brain active. 

Last night's game, organized by my bosom friend Carolyn to help me mark my 8th decade on this planet, was a timely reminder. 

Uncle Leslie bows, as his pleased partner Uncle Ruddy looks on.

For as I tried to follow 96 year old Uncle Leslie's strategic plays, it was so obvious that dominoes had played a major role in keeping him and even 90 year old Uncle Ruddy, young. 

Unfortunately, the game is only being kept prominent by us older folk, as the younger generation is showing little interest. 

 But it is what it is. 

Uncle Ruddy, Clover's widower.

It remains one of my favorite activities and everyone knows that.

No one more than Carolyn,  the daughter of the late, great Jamaican, Doctor Clover Thompson,  an outstanding public servant and  educator, whose other life revolved around dominoes. 

So yes, it was a great night, and my fellow Taurean Horace and I kept our flag flying by dropping a six love.🙃

It was a wonderful way to spend a significant birthday.

Black Forrest, one of my favorites😋

Good friends, delicious fare, great brain activity and camaderie. 

Thanks guys.
