It was amazingly beautiful along the coast, perfect for playing a few games of Backgammon on the beach.

There were several families and lots of people on the beach. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the last of the sunshine before the time change and the impending cold.

I just learned how to play Backgammon and really enjoy. My opponent is much more experienced than I am, so I end up missing a lot, although he does help me along.

What I don't get is how some days, or I should say most days the dice just seem to work purposely against me.

Yesterday, I was truly speechless when I rolled a 3 and a 1 three times in a row. How does that happen?

In the mean time, my challenger rolled double 6, double 4, and think a double one. Wait, how, why, I don't get it.  

I was floored. He didn't say a word, poor thing. I think he really wanted to say something, but didn't.

It was so ridiculous to me that I had nothing to say, all I could do is laugh. I could see his relief as we sat in sand cracking up at my foul luck!

Some days that's just the way it is.
