One of our players died today. Over the years she played as DORY, ROJIAN
and LILITH; changing names as she realized she didn't have to use her
real name. I remember meeting her twelve or thirteen years ago when Chef
Fred's first got Buzztime. She told me she was glad there was someone
to give her a challenge. She was never really a challenge. In all
honesty, she was one of the most annoying people I've ever met, but she
played with us for a dozen years, inviting herself to different venues
(one time following us when we snuck out of the bar), providing
transportation on occasion, anything to be one of the gang. She could
sandbag, holler out wrong answers with certainty and cause scenes that
had nothing to do with the game, better than anyone I know. Anything
you've done, she did first and better. If she had done everything she
claimed, she had to have been about 645 years old. We haven't played with her in
a couple of months because we wanted to get in a few games at the new
bar without the distraction before we told her they were open. I was
gonna tell her tomorrow. The last game we played she beat me like a
rented mule and got number one on the local board (maybe a first). So
I'm going out to light a fire, drink Scotch and listen to Tom Lehrer in
her memory. Anchors aweigh Capt. Dorothy Schwartz USN Ret.
