Let’s start this blog post with a guessing game: how would people fill in the blank in today’s title?
I’m playing the waiting game as you come up with an answer.
I had a particular game in mind when I tweeted this yesterday:

I’m not too young to remember The Name Game, are you?
The Blogging Game here includes songs and also images like these:














With all the games people play, I’m more confused than a chameleon in a bag of Skittles, and it’s National Candy Day!
We still have candy left over from Halloween …

… so we don’t have to play The Crying Game, which is a great song …
… and one of my favorite movies.
How many people will play The Comment Game, below?
The Gratitude Game has simple rules: express thanks to those you appreciate, every day!



the game of life – roll the dice and hope for the best
I love the way you play the game of life, beth.
it’s always a game of chance and opportunity
“The Cats Getting Along Game:” does Harley still hiss at Joan?
He does!
The fish finger sandwich game. A multi purpose response!
Thanks for playing the game, Peter!
Do you remember Name That Tune? It was a game show I think in the late 70\s early 80’s
I do remember that!
When I think of the hours my friends and I spent playing Dungeons & Dragons and other roleplaying games I think how the shared experience of tackling problems together brought us together. Over papers and dice we worked and compromised and imagined, and that enriched our lives away from the table.
I’m not saying it could save the world but it couldn’t hurt.
I agree.
I agree also!
Thank you for reminding me of Boy George & Culture Club. I admire Boy George for writing his memoir and fighting back against the Shame Game. I hope that he’s doing well now.
I hope so too, Maureen.
I like brain games that stimulate thinking. They’re not just puzzles and board games, either, but include creative outlets like taking pictures, painting, playing music or learning a new language. That’s a post-card quality image of the pier, very nice Ann.
Thank you, Maria!
I will give away my age by saying I really used to love “The Match Game.” Once in awhile I still watch an old episode and enjoy the celebrities, now gone, but not forgotten. They still make me laugh! 😂
I love the Match Game too and I don’t mind giving away my age!
Being a sports fan, I’ll chip in with The Big Game, Ann. I like having one to look forward to, and feel good after if my squad comes out ahead. Saturday my alma mater Maryland plays Penn State in football and that will be this week’s chapter of The Big Game for me to watch with my dear wife Karen on our TV.
I hope you enjoy the Big Game today, my friend!
