Howard, chairperson of his Methodist church's outreach committee, struggled with problem drinking when he was a young man and credits involvement in the church with his ability to give up alcohol.

He sneaks into the downstairs rec room and plays it when she thinks he is outside. He seems to have gotten more aggressive, but she wonders if that is just her imagination.
