On Thanksgiving day, our friend Rob Lockhart usually joins us for the festivities. We eat\u00a0 and drink and are merry, as the saying goes, and usually play Scrabble or Monopoly or some other board game in the aftermath of dinner. On this Thanksgiving Rob and Rob went for a long bike ride while Megan and I took the dogs to the park. When we got back, Megan went door to see our neighbors and I sat outside and read <em>Grey Aliens and the Harvesting of Souls, <\/em>by Nigel Kerner, a rather compelling look at UFOs, abductions, the entire weird field.<\/p>\n<p>So after dinner we played this game called Apples to Apples. It\u2019s Rob, Megan, me, Rob Lockhart (Tacayo) and Maddie, the 9-year-old girl who lives next door. The game is simple: each player chooses 7 cards from the red pile. There\u2019s also a green pile and when it\u2019s your turn you select a card from the green pack and the other players must select\u00a0 one of their 7 cards that closely fits the word on the green cared.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you chose a green card entitled\u00a0 <em>soft. <\/em>Each of the other players must play a card they hold that aptly describes <em>soft.<\/em> Worm, brain, orange, grapefruit. The person who has chosen the green card must decide\u00a0 which card\u00a0 best describes \u00a0the word or phrase on the green card. The first person who wins eight rounds wins the game.<\/p>\n<p>And I, who had two hours earlier been reading about abductees in Kerner\u2019s book, which is so far a rather disturbing take on the alien agenda, pick a new card. <em>Alien abduction. <\/em>I burst out laughing. \u201cSynchro,\u201d I murmur, and snapped a photo of the card.<\/p>\n<p>Not an earth-shattering synchro, just another tad of weirdness, and maybe a bit of the trickster tossed in.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an odd synchro.
