At Starbuck's tonight I saw a table of I think seven people playing Scrabble. They could possibly have been students in the same class, as this is a college town. But the most boisterous of them was a man possibly in his fifties, or more likely sixties. I'm pretty sure they weren't all related, as one person was black and another seemed not to be white exactly. So I'm not sure how this group found each other, but I take them as a good sign.
