From Dubois County

Hey Reader,

I'm an experiential learner, I joked with my wife.

I was trying to explain why I made a heavy wager on a round in my second official game of Cinch.

It was to see the fail points in action, I said to her.

I also bet big because I really thought I could make the points necessary for the hand with the help of my partner. It just might be an interesting road getting to them.

I like making those risky jumps in games. Amy is a more logical and somewhat conservative player who spends a lot of time shaking her head at my actions in card games. And she wins a lot in the games we play.

Don't get me wrong. I like winning.

But I also don't really mind losing.

I really just like good games.

And good games involve risks in my opinion.

Especially risks that play out.

In this case, though, it didn't play out in my favor. We lost all the points, and I'm telling her how I am an experiential learner.

From Dubois County with love.

Matthew and Amy Crane
