Our nights have been pretty open this spring break so most of them have been filled with endless rounds of Euchre. As far as card games go I prefer Oh Hell, but without Doug it isn't the same. No one else cheers themselves on the way that he does, especially with his infamous clap. Euchre has been fun, however. Although it does take some skill, a lot of it depends on the luck of the deal. Sometimes it can also change due to the partner that you have. Everyone has different thoughts on what to make trump, how to lead, or when to go it alone.
Although we usually end up pretty even in our matches, tonight I absolutely go destroyed at partner Euchre. It seemed that every hand was full or nines and tens and very little trump. I lost all three games and scored very few points. The card gods must have felt sorry for me during our Buck Euchre round as that I actually won easily. I cannot remember that ever happening. Win or lose, Euchre, has been a great way to pass the nights. It can get pretty quiet here with Doug in Ocala. He did call to check in during our game, which almost made it feel like he was here. Won't be long until he's back in town and we can break out the Oh Hell! We are definitely ready to get rid of the "Vicky Bird."
