"are you guys related?"

My answer was "no." She replied, "I see you guys have the same last name, NEWSOME." We all had on small name tags. I'm glad that I am one that does not easily jump to conclusions.

Please have a great holiday season. Be a blessing to someone.

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS "SKILL"

The correct answer is............SKILL. Will Pigg is correct. The best players can not be that lucky all the time. Look at the stats of the most prestigious domino competition in the US, The World Championship Domino Tournament(www.worlddomino.com). You will notice in the 35 year history of the tournament consisting of approximately 20,000 players, two players have won the tournament 28.5% of the time, Harold Marler and James Morgan (Morgan died in 1990)both of Mississippi. Get this, 3 players have won the tournament 37% of the time and 7 players have won 60% of the time. It is impossible to be that lucky. The reason players win consistenly is because this is a game of skill. Skill players have the ability to create luck. I always say, "you have to be skillful at what you are doing to be lucky." Unskilled or the less skillful players win because of luck and chance. Of course chance plays a part. Many of you have seen an unskilled player mess up good domino hands. Skilled players would much rather play another player of skill. Thank all of your for your responses. The ones who said "chance" were not wrong. It's just that the most correct answer is "skill."

DIRECTIONS TO MY FATHER'S HOUSE CONTINUED..........
Make a right turn on Believeth Boulevard, keep straight and go through the green light which is Jesus Christ. There you must turn onto the bridge of Faith which is over Troubled Waters. Turn right and keep straight to Kings Highway Heaven Bound. Go three miles, for the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Exit to Grace Boulevard. Make a right turn to Gospel Lane then a quick right on Prayer Road. Do not yield to the traffic on Temptation Road. Avoid Sin Street, it’s a dead end road. Pass Envy and Hate Avenues, pass Hypocrisy Lane, Gossiping Lane and Backbiting Boulevard. You do have to go down Long Suffering Lane, Trial Court and Tribulations Avenue. It’s okay, because Victory Lane is just ahead so do not give up. You should send these directions to your love ones so they do not get lost.
