14/Secrets & Lies

The hand-eye coordination I inherited from my tennis-playing parents made me an 18-year-old ace at bar shuffleboard. You'd never have known it to look at me, which is how my friends convinced the occasional unsuspecting guy to bet money on himself. ("See that blonde over there? She likes to play shuffleboard. Think you can beat her?")

    LOL Yes, it's true. You've probably seen real shuffleboard, often played on board a cruise ship (although I've never cruised). It's the kind where the boxes are drawn on the ground, and people play with a long stick. I'm good at that too. :-)
