Remember those spirited 5 hour rounds of Monopoly? How about those silly movie and show titles you acted out in a game of charades.. At one point or another, most of us have had the pleasure of enjoying the company of family and friends in a spirited night filled with food & fun. For me, growing up in a Hispanic household, there were no family get togethers where a box of dominoes did not make an appearance. The men of the family would sit around my uncles fold up travel domino table (oh yea we had one of those) and spend hours playing . I would sit around watching, occasionally playing bartender and bringing my uncles or grandfather fresh drinks. Once in a while when some one needed a break, I’d be invited to join the men for a round or two. And boy, let me tell you, there’s nothing like the look on a grown mans face when he’s been bested at his own game by a young child.
