As we all gathered around the table, we would split up the thick deck into pieces so everyone could help shuffle. The games were usually held on Fridays and Saturdays, when we didnвЂ™t have school the next day. This extra step often provided just a little extra time to jump in if you were late in realizing that everyone was sitting down around the table, and sometimes it was enough to allow me to drag a chair up to the table at the last minute. Of course, nobody ever did, so one of us would have to scurry off to a computer to look them up and scrawl them down on a spare piece of paper. Every time we sat down to play, one of the first topics of conversation would be who actually remembered the rules. Shanghai Rummy consists of ten hands of various sequences, and despite how often we played it, none of us ever bothered to memorize the hand sequences. On the nights that we played Shanghai Rummy, there was an additional step. Even then, the game was out of print, so we had one of the few copies available, but it remains one of my favorite card games although the deck has since been lost and IвЂ™m fairly sure I will never get to play it again. In response, my grandmother had the even brighter idea of bending the corner of every single card so they all once again looked the same. Each of the cards had bent corners, because some time before, one of my cousins had the bright idea of bending the corners of particularly valuable cards so they would be easier to spot.

The second was a rather odd game that tasked its players to build a house from the cards in his or her hand.

The first was a stack of three full decks of cards all shuffled together. The bag contained two sets of cards, both about the same size and just as worn down. The little plastic bag could be seen sitting on top of the microwave any day of the year, but it was only pulled out when my grandmother came to visit. Our kitchen had several more fantastic devices with various features, including a rather oversized microwave, but more appealing than any of these was a small plastic bag whose permanent home was on top of this microwave a plastic bag that was only brought down on special, very rare occasions, but I always looked forward to these occasions. Later, an even more fascinating device would be added that would allow us to see who was calling before we even picked up the phone, but lets not get too far ahead of ourselves. The phones were touch dial, and my friends had different tonal songs associated with their phone numbers. The stov e had a fantastic button that would raise and lower a metallic heat shield, but I was too young to understand its purpose. The view from our kitchen was spectacular to the little kid that I was, as were many of the strange devices there. A long, long time ago in a state far, far away, I lived in a house on the edge of a mountain. For this first memory, IвЂ™m going to take you back about as far as I can remember. ItвЂ™s kind of funny how we donвЂ™t seem to recognize the things we take for granted and the things we donвЂ™t realize that we appreciate until theyвЂ™re taken away from us.
