On the beach! I had my annual Medicare wellness exam today. The nurse gave me the choice of the spelling or math version. I demanded both -- and then aced them. "Keep doing those crossword puzzles!" she said.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

On shore. Time on DuckDuckGo was well spent (well, about 5% of it was well spent).
