Crossword




Oh yes I agree that crosswords are one definition of a moveable feast. We often have a large puzzle attached to a clipboard for a week at a time. It is a mechanism that exercises the brain. It is strange how I can look at a word in that puzzle and not have a clue after long staring and manipulation of letters what the word is. Then after abandoning it as a lost cause return the next day and like magic the answer is clear and you wonder and say to yourself, of course how did I not get it before. Sometimes of course the answer is just beyond solving and you refer to the answer page. Sometimes even after getting the answer it looks like the russian alphabet. All in all it keeps the brain exercised and that's what I'm looking for.
