This is for Lewis, the guy who directs the Scrabble club I attend every Thursday.  He's an expert level player who goes up against the best of the best in every tournament he enters.  Edley, Cappelletto, Wiegand, GI Joel, Matt Graham, you can rattle off all of the elite players in the country and he's played nearly all of them.  He doesn't always beat them, of course, but it's simply the fact that he takes them on at all.  I will most likely never be good enough to play guys like that, so the games I have against him at the club are probably the only time I will ever play someone of that caliber.  Obviously, he wipes me out way more often than not, but I do have eight wins against him.  Yes, I'm counting.  It's a pretty big deal when I beat him, as I did last night after I dropped a 122-point triple-triple (hitting two Triple Word Scores on one play) with the word RESIDERS.  I was also lucky enough to have him not win the game by bingoing out with OVARIAL.  (whew!)

Lewis is also an attorney who works for the state of California.  He's had to concern himself with potential furloughs and/or IOU's in recent months because the state is so damned dysfunctional right now.  I reckon it's gotta be pretty hard on the guy.  Maybe that had something to do with him missing OVARIAL. In any event, here's a tongue-in-cheek Mojo Nixon entry called "Destroy All Lawyers."

Oh, just so you know, OVARIAL has an anagram - VARIOLA.
