Locust Canasta! - LawrenceCanasta

LawrenceMinute0070: Canasta







This is my Canasta. I haven't melded it with the Locust yet because Jeff still has to do his Canasta. When he's done we can have a simultaneous presentation of the two finished Locust Canasta! minutes. How is that for a motivator!

At first i had assumed for no good reason that canasta was an amazing and dynamic game. However going by my research i must now draw a tentative but opposite conclusion; it seems to be no more than a crummy rummy clone.

Now rummy makes me think about my grandma who loves to play that game. In years gone by her memory has gone from bad to worse. When we play she'll sometimes get confused and for instance out of nowhere ask what the trump is. Yet at the same time the confinements of a familiar game form a safe haven from a frightening and hostile world outside. So in conclusion, this inadvertently went from dynamic and fun to bleak and depressing. Yea!
