Last Wednesday (last week – the 8th), Mer and I invited over our colleagues Dubbs and Craig, and our friend Anna. Anna has spent the last several years in Geneva, Switzerland, working on her Master’s degree in French, so it was good to see her again.

I made dinner and dessert for everyone (burritos and peanut butter bars, respectively), and Dubbs and Anna both brought chips, so we were not hurting for food. Anna is sharp and witty, so she easily fit in to the group dynamics of CVCA folks.

After dinner, I broke out my new trivia game, Bezzerwizzer. Bezzerwizzer has a huge array of trivia categories, twenty in all, covering arts, fashion, science, sports, food, and more. The twist is that you have tiles that allow you to try to “steal” your opponents’ question (if they get it wrong), and you have one tile that lets you trade categories with another player or team. In our game, we played me and Mer versus Anna, Craig, and Dubbs. We played three games, and they were all close, but Anna and company won two games to our one. We still had a great time – with Dubbs and Craig in the same room, it’s pretty hard to not laugh. Sometimes it’s pretty hard to breathe while you are laughing. It was another very successful evening, and we even stayed up past 10:00 on a school night. Wild us.
