Puzzles

Have you ever played sudoku? It's the Japanese numbers game where you fill in the boxes and no 2 numbers can be in the same grid of boxes or in line with each other. That game is an addiction! Like crack, but with mustard on it! I know some of you out there don't see the big deal, but once you finish your first one, it's a personal challenge to not be conquered by the numbers. It involves logic and elimination. It makes you think completely different than say a crossword puzzle, which, I happen to enjoy also. They say you need to keep exercising your brain just as you would a muscle, which may or may not help prevent senility. There are times though, that senility would be a good excuse:) I thought about writing this blog in code for you all to decipher and get your puzzle solving tools working, but you would probably think I was really on crack with mustard or senile. Or some government, undercover, terrorist fighting, code breaking, supercomputer mind, would decipher it wrong, and next thing you know I have a free room with a view at Gitmo and a cell mate who views sudoku as something vile to his religion! (Yeah, sometimes I'm not politically correct). Well, I think it might be time to go get my cerebral metabolism going. "Got my penceeel. Hey, gimme somethin' to write on man!"
