The Mind of the Master

04 Feb

Besides coddling eggs, eating sardines, sorting upc codes, and watching episodes of M.A.S.H, my Grandma and Grandpa and I would play round after round of Mastermind during my visits as a kid.

Is everyone familiar with this sadistic game?  One person hides a combination of colored pegs behind a blind, and the other person has to try to guess what it is, the only clues being smaller red and white pegs, representing correct colors and locations.  I don’t know if I ever beat Grandma or Grandpa, though I do have a very distinct memory of feeling frustrated and Grandpa laughing.

I think Justin has a very vivid picture of what that was like for me…
