Words




I think the history of language and use of words is fascinating. How we can communicate through symbols and etches (well keyboards and computers now)- it is an amazing feat. To be able to transfer complex ideas and concepts from individual to another through words - what a wonderful thing. My personal interests would include Japanese kanji, Arabic calligraphy, Mayan glyphs and Tibetan script. I can admire them for their purpose and practicality but also appreciate the simple beauty present.

Sudoku


I simply love doing the sudoku puzzles and find they can be both relaxing as well as offering stimulation for the brain. My goal has been to work on a few of the puzzles each day. I try to do one or two at lunch - just helps to get my brain moving some days.

The library has gotten a few good books on sudoku and there are lots of free webpages to explore too. I am quite proud of myself that I can do the "medium" level puzzles without too much trouble but still crumble with the "hard" levels. I will get there in time. They are fun to work on -- check out some nice webpages - just print off your puzzle and get your brain working.
