Lunch Time Tichuers 05/18/2006

Mike, the random wisher, was threating to sit on my right but did not. Apparently, my complaints about the random wish has become legendary. On the second hand, Adam might have made a four wish but chose not to since I was his partner. This would have taken out Jon’s bomb. Sigh.

For the last hand of the game, Mike started and played a number of cards (two straights). When he led a single and had two cards left, I risked it and called Tichu. I had two Aces, the Dragon, a medium single and a long straight. True, there was a chance that Jon had a bomb and a dog. But I had to call it just the same.
