Spring cleaning continues - today ... the computer altar.

I always felt that I was doomed to Alzheimer's. Because - I couldn't do a crossword puzzle to save my life. Much less save my brain. I can not spell. Period. It was always the fondest belief of the elderly that working crossword puzzles wards off Alzheimer's much like wolfbane wards off werewolves.

Well, I am saved. "Gee Miz Peggy, you wouldn't be stuck here in the Alzheimer's ward if you had worked crosswords like a nice old woman." Nope, according to the Wall Street Journal - crossword puzzling doesn't help us fend off the dreaded Alzheimer's . You know - "they" have been wrong about a whole lot of medical stuff lately.
