Colonel Mustard in the Library with the Knife

During our self imposed quarantine we haven't had anyone visit us or gone to anyone's homes.  In fact Meg, Cam and I hadn't been anywhere except to take a walk around our neighborhood.  Nick decided to follow our example and quaratine at his house as well.  Because of his decision, we have felt comfortable having him over every two weeks or so.  Meg has appreciated seeing him and we've enjoyed the diversion from our daily routine.  During today's visit, Meg and Nick took a walk down to Grandma Jane's and visited her and Grandpa Cutes from a safe distance.  Everyone enjoyed the visit and they were still able to make it home in time for dinner which included Meg's new favorite dish, mostaciolli.

Once the kitchen was cleaned up Meg suggested a game of Clue.  Nick let all of us know right away that he was "really good at the game."  We were a little skeptical after Ticket to Ride, but were definitely up for the challenge.  Since Brett wasn't here to join us, Cam decided to try his strategy and not use a paper ballot to keep track of the rooms, suspects and murder weapons.  It had worked well for Brett in the past as none of us had ever beaten him.  Although not by conscious choice, Doug decided to follow suit and try one of Brett's strategies as well by guessing early.  We were all surprised during Doug's third turn when he moved to the library and announced that his final guess was Colonel Mustard in the Library with the Knife.  I actually gasped when he said it as I knew that Cam had Colonel Mustard.  As he picked up the cards to check his guess, we all started laughing.  Unfortunately for Doug his new strategy did not work, and we all laughed even harder later when it was revealed that Nick had had the library.  It was hard not to pick on Doug the rest of the night as it was definitely the funniest moment of our time at home these past six weeks.  Cameron did eventually win by correctly guessing Professor Plum in the Hall with the Knife, therefore proving that one of Brett's strategies in the game did actually work.
