"Games" carries the unfortunate overtones of rules and points (notches on the bedpost and that sort of thing) and rules for scoring points, which I'd prefer not to worry about. Umm, that sounds awfully anarchistic, which isn't accurate either. Play-forms tend to have their own internal logics that you really do have to abide by, and I'm also not wild about jungle volleyball. Anyhow, I find about as many people are dreadfully serious about the games they play as about anything else people do. Besides which, I was never much good at scoring points in normal games and never much understood the rules anyhow. :-) Patty
